Spirito di Vino, now in its thirteenth edition, is an international competition for cartoonists who want to make an amusing, ironic comment on wine and wine culture.

Cartoonists taking part to the competition are divided into groups:

Cartoons should not exceed the dimensions of 30x40 cm in vertical. Each artist could send maximum 3 cartoons. The artworks may be in black and white or colour and may be drawn using any technique.

The jury will be composed of the famous cartoonists Giorgio Forattini, Emilio Giannelli, Alfio Krancic and Valerio Marini, the director of Istituto Europeo di Design of Milano Aldo Colonetti and other leading figures from the world of satire and journalism.

There is no entry fee.
