European Cartoon Award presents long list 2025

The European Cartoon Award has presented this year’s longlist of cartoonists that are in the running for the 2025 award. This year they received over 400 submissions from 30+ nationalities. For the longlist, the jury has selected 40 cartoons. Here below we present a small selection; the entire longlist is published on ECA’s Facebook page and Instagram.

The ECA will announce the shortlist prior to the annual ECA Cartoons Day that will be held December 12, 2025 in The Hague, Netherlands. Here, the winner will be announced. If you’re in the country (and you like cartoons), we highly recommend attending Cartoons Day. It’s free, and will feature workshops, panels, food & drinks, and more…
