46th WORLD GALLERY OF CARTOONS Skopje 2015.
Dear friends cartoonists,
2015
is very important year for OSTEN, as this year we are celebrating the 70-years
anniversary of its establishment (it was established 1st January 1945), while
last 2014 was the 45-years anniversary of the 1st World Gallery of Cartoons (20
August 1969). These are respectful jubilees, but therefore the responsibility
for running OSTEN and
the
World Gallery of Cartoons is huge…
Over the time, OSTEN has
experienced different fortune – from being completely supported by the community
and institutions, to transitional inability for realization of the basic
activities. In that transitional period, from 2005 to 2008 – three editions of
the World Gallery of Cartoons were not held, and that affects with disorder in
the years of its organizing. That is why, the last edition of the World Gallery
of Cartoons, instead of jubilee 45th, it was 42nd World Gallery of
Cartoons – Skopje 2014.
Last
year, 2014, on the occasion of the 45-year anniversary of the World Gallery of
Cartoons, OSTEN made a resolution to organize three thematic digital cartoon
competition, who will fulfill the missed editions and thus will ensure the
continuity of
the
World Gallery of Cartoons.
That was the intention for organizing:
43rd World Gallery of
Cartoons – Skopje 2014
(Digital Cartoons Competition on theme ‘Summer’)
Selector: Miroslav
Georgievski Miro, Macedonia (cartoonist)
Awarded cartoonist:

For
eatch edition of the World Gallery of Cartoons (Thematic Competition of Digital

will be presented. The catalog will be sent to each participant via post
mail.
According
to the propositions, for the awarded artists an exhibition will be organized in
OSTEN Gallery Skopje.
To

the
43rd / 44th / 45th World Gallery of Cartoons Skopje 2014

And...
Follow us, other thematic competitions for digital cartoons will follow, as a
counterbalance to the established proposition on the World Gallery of Cartoons
from 2014 on – to be eligible only original, hand drawn cartoons, satiric
drawings and comic/strips with free theme.
This
year, as a result of the continual organization of the World Gallery of
Cartoons from 1969, we are announcing 46th WORLD GALLERY OF
