Ken Sprague
International Political Cartoon Competition
/UK 2010
International Political Cartoon Competition 2010
The competition is open to cartoonists from all
nations.
A first prize of £700, a second prize
of £500 and a third prize of £300 as well as
an ‘emerging artist’s prize’ of £150 (for 16-22
year-olds) will be awarded for cartoons which, in
the opinion of the judges, best express the above
theme. The judges’ decision will be final. The jury,
made up of leading cartoonists and well-known
personalities, will be looking for clarity of
message, cartooning skill and satirical humour.
In the first instance, the cartoon may be submitted
in any form (originals, faxes, photocopies or
electronically in at least 300 dpi resolution),
although an original would be preferred. Those
artists whose cartoons are short listed for
exhibition and a prize will be notified by the
organisers, after which they must submit the
original.
Cartoons with text and/or captions not in English
should (if possible) be accompanied by a
translation. It would also be useful to have some
idea of the situation being addressed by the cartoon
if it refers to a specific social or political
event/situation which may not be universally
understood.
Each entry must be signed by the artist and
accompanied by an address and contact details.
Entries to
reach the organisers by May 1st 2010.
The results of the competition will be announced on
June 1st 2010.
An exhibition of the best of the submissions will be
organised in London and at the Appledore Visual Arts
Festival and the prize-winning cartoons will be
published in the Morning Star newspaper and other
interested journals.
Unless the submitting cartoonist stipulates
otherwise, the original cartoons and/or prints of
the cartoons, after publication/exhibition, will be
offered for sale. Any proceeds, less a small
commission and transfer fees, will be paid to the
originating artist.
The organisers retain the right to publish or
exhibit any of the cartoons submitted, but undertake
to give due credit to the artists and ensure they
receive any royalties/payments that may accrue as a
result.
The first ten cartoons will be displayed on our
website at:
www.kenspraguefund.org
for a period of 12 months and later
will become part of the page’s competition archive,
accessible to visitors.
Artists submitting cartoons will automatically agree
to abide by the above rules.
Sponsored by the Ken Sprague Fund together with the
Appledore Visual Arts Festival and the Morning Star
Address to send submissions: Ken Sprague Fund
Cartoon Competition, 11 Dorset Road, Ealing, London
