Saint-Just-le-Martel August 12th, 2008

Dear Friend,
Ten kilometres away from Limoges, capital of Porcelain, the SALON DE LA CARICATURE, DU DESSIN DE PRESSE ET D’HUMOUR DE SAINT-JUST-LE-MARTEL has become without doubt the most important manifestation dedicated to this mode of expression, recognized as such by all the professionals in cartooning.
Saint-Just-le-Martel is truly the “reference” in this field with a main manifestation at the Salon, and decentralised ones all year round; files of more than 2000 addresses, an extremely visited website, multiple links...
Affiche 2008: Dilem (Algérie)
For the 27th edition, from 26 September to 5 October, it is obviously conceived around new themes, important retrospectives, prestigious exhibitions in St-Just and in multiple places in the region, shows, conferences and meetings, some professionals, some aimed at a specific public, particularly to the young, and others at everyone... The “cocktail” that has assured its success for a quarter of a century!
We would like you to send us about 10 drawings on the Salon themes or any others, preferably original works (those are insured and sent back after the display and presented with great care!)
It is around the following theme that the 2008 collective exhibition is conceived:
“A COMPLETE WORLD TO (RE)-BUILD! WHAT A TASK!”:
2008 A DIFFICULT YEAR IN FRANCE AND IN THE WORLD... Events and protagonists seen by cartoonists from all continents... Political and sports important events from the year 2008.
But also:
* “GUIGNOL is 200 years old”... Puppets and caricatures. A large place dedicated to caricature...
* International:
* France in Europe seen by international cartoonists
* The 60 years of the Human Rights Declaration
* The return to Saint-Just-le-Martel of “Cartooning for Peace”, drawings for Peace realized by The United Nations, enriched along the year 2007 and presented in many places around the world...
* For the young public, cartoons and youth literature, a special theme about witches.
Saint-Just-le-Martel also represents conferences, meetings, the annual Congress of FECO, Meetings for Peace: “Cartooning for Peace”, etc...
It is also a Big National Contest of press drawings from amateur cartoonists; it is various workshops and animations in schools and for other public...
Anyway, Saint-Just-le-Martel is a state of mind, smiles and seriousness mingled! and we would be delighted to present your drawings and welcome you here!
We are entirely at your disposal should you need further information.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Most sincerely,

For the Salon, the President
