Amasya Municipality the 10th International Cartoon Drawing Contest 2019 Amasya- Turkey

First Part

Subject: "Add Aesthetic To Life"

Aesthetics is not just an external beauty or an emotional beauty, it is a combination of emotion, ideal and mind. Many definitions have been made on this subject. The concept of aesthetics in the art definitions reveals the distinctive character of a nation with other nations. The indisputable privilege of the art that our ancestor performs in Turkish art history is hidden in a first, standard and harmonious style.

It is noteworthy that each of the artifacts revealed in the past is the smallest of every work, taking into account the aesthetic concern. They have produced rare works with characteristic features according to their time and geography. Nowadays, we are saddened to see that this aesthetic understanding inherited by us has started to decrease gradually.

With our cartoon competition *Add Aesthetic To Life* we aim to revive the magnificent works that are equipped with the aesthetic features we aim for. We look forward to your cartoon work and wish you all the best from this aesthetic deprivation.

The End Participation Date: To the close of business Tuesday, April 02,2019.
