9th Edition of International Caricature Festival-Ferizaj 2023 -Kosovo
Competition for the acceptance of works in the cartoon field.
This year, the city of Ferizaj celebrates its 150th anniversary (1873-2023)
The city of Ferizaj was born together with the railway.
The inn of Feriz Shashivar was the first building, which the city was named after (Feriz – Ferizaj). At that time, the railway brought rapid socio-economic development, where merchants from different countries and nationalities came and started their business, raising Ferizaj to a city, without being a village before. This feature has not been recognized before, not only in Kosovo but also more widely.
Topic 1: Railway as social and economic development, connection between people and war, urbanism and nature.
Topic 2: Free topic
