RULES
of PARTICIPATION to the
2016
INTERNATIONAL CARTOON COMPETITION with the theme
"LET'S
ELIMINATE the BARRIERS"
to be
realized within the context of
2016
INTERNATIONAL ACCESSIBLE İZMİR CONGRESS
1.
OBJECTIVE: Izmir Metropolitan
Municipality, departing with the goal to be the pioneer of accessible life, is
organizing the "International Congress of People with Disabilities' Urban
Issues and Their Solutions" between the dates November 2 - 5, 2016, for
the second time in Turkey. ACCESSIBLE IZMIR 2016, besides being a scientific
congress, also includes a variety of artistic, cultural and social activities
that will bring people with disabilities into view in the daily urban life. Accordingly,
a cartoon competition with the theme "LET'S ELIMINATE the BARRIERS"
will be held.
10% of the world's population
has a disability. They can't hear, can't see, can't walk and face multiple
barriers in social life. Many people with disabilities in the world are in need
of nursing, in comparison to the ones in developed countries. Most cannot
attend school and are devoid of any medical support. The discrimination they
are exposed to and the fact that they are ignored by society give cause for
them to live "invisible".
Izmir Metropolitan
Municipality, which started certain practices that lead people with
disabilities to enjoy the benefits of urban life more actively and opened the
first "Training and Culture Center for People with Disabilities" of Turkey,
now conveys the problems of people with disabilities to the public through this
international cartoon competition.
Hereby, we invite you to think
on their behalf. We wholeheartedly believe that the cartoonists, who enter the
competition, will make obstacles "visible" and create social
sensitivity as well as social consciousness with their cartoons.
