    CIPE Launches New Global Editorial Cartoon Competition

    Advocacy cartoons transcend language barriers and illiteracy. One powerful cartoon can communicate where a thousand words often cannot. CIPE’s new global competition is open to professional and amateur cartoonists, students, and professionals from any country and any walk of life.

    Please send this message to teachers and students, journalists, and other friends who might want to enter. Cash prizes totaling $5,000 will be awarded to winners submitting cartoons in three categories: Democracy, Corruption, and Gender Equality. Entries will be judged on originality, relevance to the competition topic, creativity, universal message, wit, and visual appeal. Through an online voting process on the CIPE web site, the general public will choose winners from among ten finalists in each category. Those finalists will be selected by a panel of distinguished judges:

    • Pat Oliphant
      Pulitzer Prize winner; world’s most widely syndicated cartoonist
    • Michael Duffy
      Assistant Managing Editor, TIME Magazine
    • Frances Abouzeid
      Chief of Party, International Center for Journalists (ICFJ)-Jordan
    • Tasneem Ahmer
      Director, Uks Research Centre
    • Jacques Charmelot
      Correspondent, Agence France-Presse (AFP)
    • Tom Gibson
      Founder, Advocacy Animation; USA Today cartoonist; Assistant to President Reagan
    • Marc Pachter
      Director Emeritus, National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC
