    In a world where violence and discrimination threaten global stability, the Aydin DoÄŸan International Cartoon Competition was started on the premise that tolerance is more important than ever and that cartoons rely on tolerance and wisdom, and form one of the building blocks of societies open to differences of opinion and beliefs.

    Today the Aydin DoÄŸan International Cartoon Competition is acknowledged in the world as the Oscar of cartoons. The competition has been organised for 27 years. So far, more than 6500 artists from 128 countries have taken part in the competition. These figures are indicative of the scope and importance of the award.

    Choice of subject is free. Only original cartoons will be accepted. Cartoons sent as printouts should bear original signatures of cartoonists. Photographs, photocopies, etc. will not be accepted. Size of cartoons should not exceed 29.7 x 42cm (A3 paper size).

    There is no entry fee.

    The competition is open to professional and amateur cartoonists from all over the world.
