Purpose of the Competition:
The
competition aims to increase social awareness on organ donation at the
national and international levels by making use of the power of art.
As
it is known, more than 1 million patients around the world and
approximately 26,000 patients in Turkey are waiting for a suitable organ
to be donated to survive through organ transplantation.
It is hoped that more organs can be provided by increasing awareness about organ donation.
From

organ donation, thanks to the original, creative, and striking works to
be designed by the cartoonists.
