Marko at Neorama points me to this link containing entry details for a new cartooning competition with a worthwhile message, the 1st Amazon Humor Salon. From the official site: “The 1st Amazon Humor Salon – Ecology in a line-drawing, intends to be part of the agenda of events related to cartoon production in Brazil and abroad, aiming at stimulating and publicizing cartoonists in general. It is important that this salon is a graphic platform that will show the talent and critic perception of all cartoonists concerned with ecological problems that afflict our planet, specially the Amazon region.”
All the cartoons entered must be on an ecological theme aimed at raising awareness of the numerous problems our climate is facing. The Salon will take place in the city of Belém, State of Pará, Brazil, from March 25th to 30th, 2008, at Boulevard das Feiras, Estação das Docas.
