International Cartoon Competition

“Peace through Children”
Objectives of the competition: 
Sister and Friend Cities of Izmir gather around the International Cartoon 
Competition. 
The competition is to be organized in order to contribute to the friendship of 
communities with the creative power of culture and art as well as strengthen friendship ties 
between cities. The theme of the competition, which will be held for the first time this year, is 
determined as “Children and International Peace” and the results will be announced on the 1st
of September 2014, the World Peace Day.
Today, thousands of children lose their lives and are forced to leave their home 
lands due to wars. They become disabled, suffer from psychological problems and they are 
abused. In wars, mostly children die first and for those who survive; they don’t smile 
anymore since their dreams, hopes and future are taken away from them. Every child has the 
right to grow up in peace regardless of their color, language, religion and ethnic origin. 
Ensuring this is the joint responsibility of humanity.
 With this consciousness, Izmir Metropolitan Municipality would like to invite the 
cartoonists living in our sister and friend cities to participate in the competition; we believe 
that their works will increase the sensibility and awareness for peace.
