Theme in the 2nd International Cartoon Contest Sinaloa 2013, México: Migration

2nd. International Cartoon Contest Sinaloa 2013, México
1. PARTICIPATION
The Contest is open to all cartoonists from all over the world and beyond.
2. THEME: Migration
The concept of emigration has existed since the first hominids learned to walk. To move around, for social reasons or just for surviving, has always foot-printed the route of our species. Since our remote African origin until today, humans have explored the whole planet forming a wide range of settlements, apparently different, but with the same necessities. Nowadays, for some countries of the so called first world, immigration is contemplated almost like a plague: solid metal walls have been built to protect their borders and tough strict control systems are used in their customs. However, migration can´t be stopped and human beings, the direct descendents of hominids that knew no frontiers, will continue to move around the world.
3. THE PRIZES
1st Prize: $2000 US dollars.
2nd Prize: $1500 US dollars.
3rd Prize: $1000 US dollars.
Winners will be notified by e-mail after 21st. November 2013.
4. ENTRIES

Similarity Or Copy?!!

IranCartoon: The Meeting Of Considering The Similarity In The Results Of The 10th International Tehran Cartoon Biennial Was Organized By Members Of Selection And Jurors...
On Sunday July 7, 2013 the meeting of considering the similarity in the results of the 10th International Tehran Cartoon Biennial was organized by presence of the respected members of selection and jurors: Mr Kambiz Derambakhsh, Javad Alizadeh, Mohammad Hossein Niroumand, Ali Jahanshahi, Bahram Azimi, Bahram Arjmand nia, Jamal Rahmati and Mohammadreza Doust Mohammadi and receiving the ideas of foreign jurors: Mr Angel Boligan from Mexico and Eduardo Baptistao from Brazil by internet in Iranian House of Cartoon.
In this meeting after lots of consideration and debates the results were:
1- The first criticism was to the members of selection and jurors.
2- The other criticism was to the artist of the artwork that was not eligible enough for choosing the project.
3- In collection of all famous world artists similar artworks will be seen that’s the result of similarity and resemblance even in the works of Bosec and Chaval!
4- Its better that the selected artworks in the final section of the festival before their announcement show to public to prevent such mistakes. In all organized festivals in Iranian House of Cartoon one day before exhibition all the selected artworks show in the site of Iran Cartoon for public consideration.
5- Unfortunately it’s a few years that this debate is between people that they try to find similarity in the artworks of cartoonists and it’s more catching hand than positive criticism.
It’s obvious that none of the famous artists wants to copy an artwork by his own sign, because his profession will be ruined.
By attention to these cases at the end of meeting (9 jurors from 10) decided that Saeed Sadeghi's artwork is not copy and it just can be mentioned as similarity and he will take his prize.
Iran Cartoon hopes that the artists that are sensitive in similarity debate mention their criticism to the responsibles before announcing the results of the festivals, so we don’t see such cases in the future.

Citizenship in its most basic terms, citizenship represents a legal status which entitles a person to the state he/she was born and raised or lived for a certain amount of time. However, citizens usually share something more than just by being born and raised or living in a piece of land. Such as religion, language, ethnicity, tradition, history, etc.
In political science, "citizenship" has a deeper meaning which refers to the equality in fundamental rights and freedoms among all citizens but when we take a glance at countries which has a significant amount of immigrant populations, we can witness examples of the poor application or even offense of these fundamental right and freedoms.
