Aydın Doğan International Cartoon Competition

The sentiment of tolerance is becoming ever more significant in the modern world whereby violence and discrimination threaten universal and ethical norms. Cartoons are among the fundamental building blocks of a society based on tolerance and prudence, open to different thoughts and beliefs. Held with this thought in mind, the Aydın Doğan International Cartoon Competition is renowned across the world as the “Oscar of Cartoons”.

The participation of over 8800 artists from 137 countries in the competition held since 1983 demonstrates the role and the significance of the prize. The Jury of the competition whereby hundreds of reputable cartoonists from many different countries compete is constituted by the most eminent master cartoonists across the world.
