Karl Marx – bi-centenary of his birth

The competition is open to artists and cartoonists from all nations.

There will be a first prize of £500, a second prize of £300 and a third prize of £200 to be awarded to the artists whose work best expresses the ideas of Karl Marx for our time. The judges’ decision will be final. The jury will be looking for clarity of message, artistic skill as well as humour. Entrants should be clear that the aim of this competition is to commemorate the great contribution made by Marx and his ideas to our culture and thinking.
