Galway Cartoon Festival -Ireland 2022

Festival Submissions Are Open!

Theme:Free

Deadline: July 31st 2022

The Galway Cartoon Festival is now inviting cartoon entries for our international exhibition “Drawing The Line“,

which will be on display from September 31st until October 9th.

There is no preconceived theme to the exhibition, we are looking for cartoons from anywhere,

about anything – just as long as they say something that makes you laugh and makes you think.

Entries should be emailed to info@galwaycartoons.eu as 300dpi jpegs. Selected entries will be printed and exhibited in venues around Galway

September 30 – 9 October 2022. Closing date for entries is 31 July 2022.

(We will not be accepting submissions of original works or limited-edition prints this year, except by prior arrangement with the artist.)

Galway Cartoon Festival welcomes cartoons in any language and none, but we are particularly keen to get cartoons and comics

in the Irish language for our “Tarraing é i nGaeilge” exhibition – the only national annual show of cartoons in Irish.

Selected cartoons will be printed and framed by the Galway Cartoon Festival and offered for sale.

Galway Cartoon Festival is a voluntary organisation promoting the art of cartoon and any sales will be put into meeting the costs

of running this year’s festival or put into the budget for next year’s festival.

Submitted cartoons may also be used in publicity materials for the festival, where they will be credited to the artist.

September 30th – October 9th 2022!

Yes, it’s coming round again already

We’re excited to announce that the dates for this year’s Cartoon Festival have been set for the first week of October.

After struggling against the odds over the last couple of years, we’re hoping to really spread out again with this one.

Thanks for all your support during the hard times!
