Wars, conflicts, natural disasters, and oppressive regimes are causing unnamable wounds in the lives of many civilians. They are exiled from their homes and have to take shelter in safer countries. The civilians who are forced to migrate face uncountable hardships during their long journeys. And the ones managing to reach safer regions face new challenges due to various issues in the receiving countries.

In order to bring to the forefront of the global agenda the issues of civilians who are forced to continue their lives as "refugees", and to raise awareness about this sensitive problem and to contribute to the solution, Kimse Yok Mu has organised an International Cartoon Competition.

Each participant can submit up to three works. Any techniques can be used to draw the caricatures, and they can be black and white or coloured. The format of the caricatures shall be jpg or jpeg, with 300 dpi resolution.

A digital participation certificate will be sent to all participants of the competition via email.

There is no entry fee.
