14th INTERNATIONAL Cartoon contest - OLIVE HUMOR FESTIVAL (KYRENIA – CYPRUS) 2024
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION
ATTENTION!!! WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE ESSENCE OF THE CARTOON!
Cartoon is line art reflected in black and white colors. Colored
cartoons, which became widespread with computer technology in the 1990s, create
some problems. 1-It increases printing and photocopying costs. 2-As a result of
the cartoons being drowned in colors, the main subject that is intended to be
reflected is pushed into the background. However, the essence of the cartoon is
black and white. The cartoon should reflect the subject it will explain in a
practical way, with only lines. For this reason, starting from this year, we
will accept the cartoons sent to the contest ONLY WITH BLACK LINES ON A
WHITE BACKGROUND (Grayscale is not accepted).
