Speech of the
Arbitration Committee

We were not surprised by
this huge number of artists who participated in the caricature
competition, they were more than 300 artists from 57 countries in
the world, we were not surprised actually because we still bit on
our faith in the caricature artist in our world whom both
imperialism and Zionism are attempting terminate the human value in
himself and trying to kill his moral consciousness- is still one of
the strongly-defending of his believing-in- values.
The caricature artist is in the front of the workers for rights,
justice, and beauty.
The wide participation in the third international Syrian
participation for caricature as a prove of the idea that the
caricaturist view will stay pure and invincible against the
ferocious American and Zionist campaign which aim to distort and
abuse the Syrian image and it's just stances.
In addition to that, we were not surprised by the high artistic
values of most of the participating works, because the caricature
is-unarguably- one of the arte that managed since a long time to
develop it's artistic means and technologies, which were used to
serve the ideas and meanings perfectly. We exerted a huge effort in
choosing what we thought to be the best, yet we think that a lot of
the portraits that did not win in this contest shall win in other
contests.
Thus, we hail every participant and those who were not able to
participate, as for the winners we say: congratulations, and wish
you to go further in your hardworking in serving the ethical and
human message.
