1. INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST-DENİZLİ-TURKEY

1. INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST SPECIFICATIONS: CLIMATE CHANGE AND ORGANIC AGRICULTURE

We wish the participation of cartoonists from all around the world this year by organizing internationally the cartoon contest that we have organized nationally for three years.

We’ve decided the topic of the contest as Climate Change and Organic Agriculture.

Our world becomes more and more uninhabitable in time. Because of unconscious behaviors of humankind such as harming green areas, blue seas, clean water resources and clean air; they actually didn’t realize that they harmed themselves.

Negative behaviors disrupted the balance of the world. Natural conditions changed. On the one hand, the danger of drought; on the other hand, global warming and the rapid destruction of natural areas are the unique reasons why calamity and natural disasters are often threatening humankind. Accordingly, the damage to the agricultural areas has increased the share of inorganic nutritions and GMO (genetically modified organism) foods in the market and naturally proportion in the food chain. The use of hybrid seeds has also endangered the future of sustainable natural agriculture.

The importance of organic agriculture is obvious for healthy nutrition and consequently the future of humanity.

We have implemented and developed many environmentally-kind projects in order to increase the proportion of Denizli's green areas, to protect and save water resources, to minimize the pollution of the air we breathe and to recycle waste and garbage for the nature.

We have worked for forming organic aggriculture areas and directing farmers to organic aggriculture besides raising the awareness of our public. Furthermore, our works still keep on.

We wanted to bring up Climate Change and Organic Agriculture, we see it as a problem that threatens the whole world, with the your valuable interpretations as master cartoonists. Thus, we desired to contribute to the awareness of people.

I thank you and wish you success.
