On 21st August 2024 at 9:30am took place a video-conference held by Studio d’Arte Andromeda (via Malpaga 11, Trento, Italy) to start the work of the jury for the above-mentioned contest, this year’s theme was: ROOTS
JURY MEMBERS:
Marco De Angelis, cartoonist and illustrator.
Marilena Nardi, cartoonist.
Veronica Rigotti, artist and art therapist.
Tiziano Beber, illustrator.
This year we received artworks from 430 authors, for a total of 945 artworks coming from 58 countries. We feel like the level and quality of each work was very high. This year’s theme, ambiguous and interpretable in different ways, has maybe helped everybody’s creativity and has allowed the creation of powerful works both on graphic level and originality. In many of the works the authors reached a poetic level of expression through graphic and pictorial media.
