1st Kaktus Cartoon Award, Austria 2023
Cartoons are an important and effective tool to show political or social grievances. The drawings can be grasped quickly, bring complex content visually to the point and through their humorous and exaggerated presentation, an also be entertaining.
With the Kaktus
Cartoon Award we would like to promote this art form and give
cartoonists a stage.
In 2023, the 1st
Kaktus Cartoon Award will grow out of the barren, stony ground.
A prize that is awarded to international cartoonists
who take a critical and humorous look at our society.
The 1st
Kaktus Cartoon Award is dedicated to the topic: CLIMATE
CHANGE.
We can see the effects of climate
change everywhere - locally and globally.
It is high time to change our behavior to avert the
worst.
Cartoons can make a convincing contribution by making
grievances visible and comprehensible. They can inspire us to new ideas and
solutions.
As part of the Cartoon Award a prize will be awarded
in the category "Cartoon & Law" donated by Austrian law firm
Haslinger / Nagele Rechtsanwälte
The Kaktus "Cartoon & Law" is dedicated to the topic: CLIMATE
JUSTICE.
Who is primarily responsible for climate
change and who are the most affected?
Does Law encourage or block the necessary
transformation?
Do protests work and do they make a difference? Is
there justice?
All cartoonists on this earth are invited to submit
their best cartoons on Climate
Change and/or Climate Justice.
Our independent Kaktus Jury will determine the winners
out of all submissions.
