Conditions of participation for all authors:
To send 10 cartoons – but don't send them just yet. We will invite you to do so in time and will supply the necessary instructions. The cartoons will be sent electronically to the CHC's e-mail. You don't have to print anything and send it by mail. We will print and install your cartoons for you.
Accommodation during the festival:
We have arranged for free-of-charge accommodation for you. We know it is difficult to plan right now on what you will be doing in July 2016. However, we have to present a rooming list to the hoteliers of all hotels and spa hotels in Františkovy Lázně, who have chosen to support our festival, as soon as of December 2015.
They will support us by accommodating all attending cartoonists free of charge. It does not matter for how long you will come, be it 5 days or just one. They already need to know this December, however, since they cannot guarantee sufficient availability otherwise. The hotels have a lot of bookings more than 6 months in advance. If you do not register for the accommodation in advance, we cannot guarantee that there will be sufficient rooms available to accommodate you - and if there will be, we cannot promise it will be free of charge!!!
If you decide to come for the festival, please plan it particularly for Saturday, 16 July 2016, as the presentation of the Cartoonist of the Year award will take place on this date.
