    As part of the 33nd edition of the Just for Laughs Festival taking place from July 11-25th 2015 in Montreal (Canada), the Just for Laughs International Visual Arts Contest is calling to visual artists (graphic designers, painters, designers, photographers, sculptors, videographers, etc.) from all over the world to submit a new or existing piece of work illustrating in a humorous manner this yearʼs theme: Dark Humor.

    « While humor warms your heart and soul, dark humor will send chills down your spine. It looks at life’s grim events with a wry smile, making fatality more bearable through laughter. » (definition from the Just for Laughs Museum’s exhibit "Twelve Universes of Humour")
