Nominated for prizes of Euro-kartoenale Kruishoutem 2021

It was a strange experience to have a digital jury meeting to choose the winners of the 23th Euro-kartoenale Kruishoutem ‘Chances and Opportunities’. We find it always important to gather the international jury members in the European Cartoon Center during a live meeting. The worldwide pandemic decided otherwise this year.

After 3 rounds of selections on the jury platform, 38 cartoons stayed in competition for the final discussion between the jury members by video conference. It was difficult to choose because of the very high number and quality of the cartoons on this edition. But we can admit that the jury did a great job and showed  a very high engagement.

The jury did decide that 9 cartoonists are nominated for the 6 prizes and 3 honourable mentions (in alphabetical order):

    Alessandro Gatto - Italy

    Jerzy Gluszek – Poland

    Mojtaba Heidarpanah - Iran

    Marilena Nardi – Italy

    Muammer Olcay – Turkey

    Alexander Sergeev - Russia

    Constantin Sunnerberg – Belgium

    Davoud Housmand Taghiabad - Iran

    Zbigniew Wozniak - Poland
