Galway Cartoon Festival would like to invite cartoonists from around the world to enter this year’s group exhibition to take place in October 2021.
This year’s theme is AT LARGE.
With a growing expectation that we will be able to emerge from our Covid-cocoons over the next year we would like cartoonists to consider what happens to the metaphorical butterfly when it hasn’t had a social life for 18 months.
Will the world be scary and incomprehensible? Will we be overwhelmed when we have to talk to people? Or will we be more patient? Friendlier? Will our chins feel cold without the masks? Show us what a post-Covid world of freedom looks like!
Entries should be emailed to info@galwaycartoons.eu as 300dpi jpegs.
There will be a cash prize for one selected work chosen by an independent judge.
Selected entries will be printed and exhibited in venues around Galway 1-9 October 2021.
Closing date for entries is 31/07/21.
