Cartoon Contest “Bruegel In 2017”-Belgium
INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST: BINDING TERMS AND
CONDITIONS
1. Participation
Anyone aged 18 and over can participate in this
international contest. Participants declare that they agree with the terms and
conditions of the contest, the rules, and the jury’s decisions. Participation
is free.
The deadline is 03-02-2017.
2. Theme: “Bruegel in 2017”
Peer will celebrate the 650th anniversary of acquiring
city rights in 2017. The year will be filled with festive activities for the
residents of Peer and for visitors. One of Belgium’s most famous painters,
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, was supposedly born in Peer (Grote-Brogel). We wonder
what Bruegel would think of the world today; as it is in 2017.
3. Submissions
Each participant can submit maximum five entries
(colour or black and white). All graphic techniques are allowed. We prefer that
participants print out digitally drawn work so that the works can be presented
to the jury in sufficiently high quality. The works cannot have been published
or exhibited in the past. Please send your works to the following address: ~
