15th Biennial International Cartoon Contest- Hlohovec 2024- Slovakia
Dear friends, it's here. 15th year of the Fraštacký tŕň is announced.
April 1st is a day of jokes and fun. And on this cheerful day every other year the civic association EXLIBRIS AD PERSONAM HLOHOVEC in cooperation with the Homeland museum in Hlohovec announces international cartoon contest Fraštacký tŕň.
For the 15th year of the contest we have chosen the topic PLASTICS. Quo vadis, homine?
Everywhere you look, plastics surrounds you. You have plastics at home, plastics are in landfills, plastics are in rivers and in the sea. Do you buy canned tuna? The plastic that you did not sort slowly returns to your table in microparticles. How do cartoonists deal with this ecological threat? And what solution will they offer through their contest works? That's what the organizers decided to find out in the 15th year of the Fraštacký trň.
So, dear cartoonists, the time has come to think about this serious topic and send your idea, transformed into a work of art, to Hlohovec. Contest conditions you can find here:
