THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL DON QUICHOTTE CARTOON CONTEST
THE TOPIC OF THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL DON QUICHOTTE CARTOON CONTEST IS
“WORLD LANGUAGES”
In our world today 6800 languages are spoken in over 200 countries.
Even in the countries having the same language exist dialects.
Consequently each country adds its own social values to the language and makes it
more colorful. On the other hand, in the latest 500 years about 750
languages are disappeared forever. According to the linguists, every 15
days a language is disappearing on the earth. One of the crucial reasons
for this devastation is colonialism for sure.
There is a dialogue among languages as well. For example Latin lies at
the root of many languages. In connecting people language plays an
important role; while doing so it can build borders and remove them as
well. Chinese is the most widespread language in the world. Second comes
Spanish. English is the state language of 52 countries as you can
surmise.
Even if we cannot imagine a positive religious dialogue we can talk
about a worldwide linguistic dialogue which is much more attractive and
active. The aim of our contest is to convey this rich variety through
cartoons as much as possible. The most succesful cartoonists in reflecting
the linguistic dialogue will be rewarded by the worldwide top 15 jury
of cartoonists whose members are also in the “Don Quichotte Cartoon
Committee”.
