The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) would like to thank to 179 artists from 48 countries to participate with their 343 works in support of the Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare.
We are glad that there is a huge diversity of nationalities, the registered cartoons came from all over Latin America, UK, Germany, France, Slovakia, Poland, even from countries like Iran, Uzbekistan, Kazajstan, Sudan, Turkey, among others. At the beginning the jury named by WSPA was going to select only 40 cartoons for the catalogue, but the quality of works received allows us to admit 70 cartoons representative form this diverse group. On October 25th 2012 here we will be announcing the group of selected cartoons.
This day, also, we will inaugurate a permanent exhibition with the work of the 45 autors selected to be part of this ceramic mural in Carmen Lyra's Library located at Rincón Grande de Pavas, San José, Costa Rica. The library is part of an organized community in developing, which now will be award for their communal achievements with a representation of what Animal Welfare means.
