Dear participant of the Euro-kartoenale Kruishoutem The Wall,
We are glad to let you know that our participation list
https://ymlptr5.net/7f471ejujakaehewmag ... /click.php is updated so you can check online if one of your cartoons is selected for the exhibition catalogue and the exhibition in the European Cartoon Center this spring.
We really want to thank all 975 cartoonists for the participation. The jury had a very difficult job this year. The quality of the cartoons was extremely high, unfortunaly only 5% of the cartoons could be selected for the exhibition.
Therefore I would say to all of you who did not make it this year to continu participating to international cartoon contests, it only means that in this edition your entry was judged (a little bit) less good than the others. It is no overall evaluation of your talent and portfolio.
To some of you, experienced cartoonists, I can really say: you had better ideas before.
To a lot of the beginners, I would like to say: what a talent, just continu and I am sure we see you on the podium one day.
Ten cartoonists are nominated as prize winners, in alphabetical order:
- BELOM Jean-Loic - France
- BEYAERT Herwig – Belgium
- DOGAN Arslan – Turkey
- DRUZIHIN Valentin – Russia
- KRAWCZAK Andrzej – Poland
- LISTES Nikola – Croatia
- MECHO Luis Demetrio Calvo – Costa Rica
- NAZARI Mahmood – Iran
- PIRMARZANAD Jalal – Iran
- ZLATKOVSKI Mikhail - Russia
Who did win which prize will be announced at the award ceremony on Saturday the 20th of April 2019 in Kruishoutem.
The exhibition in the ECC will be from the 21th of April till the 30th of June, after that a smaller travelling exhibition will be organised.
Notice to all participants
All cartoonists who are selected for the catalogue do receive automatically a copy in the beginning of May.
All participating cartoonists can get a free copy on request, however the postage costs are for their own account.
A diploma for all participants and selected cartoonists will be available in April
