“Environment” Themed Diogenes of Sinop 4th International Cartoon Contest organized by Sinop Writers, Poets and Artists Association with the contributions of Sinop Municipality has been concluded.
The selection committee, consisting of sculptor Eşref Baş (Turkey), writer Tufan Bilgili (Turkey), and caricaturists Adnan Taç (Turkey), Altan Özeskici (Turkey), Aşkın Ayrancıoğlu (Turkey), Cemal Odabaşı (Turkey), Erhan Yaşar Babalık (Turkey), Fan Lintao (China), Leila Alaiy (Iran), Lütfü Çakın (Turkey), Marian Avramescu (Romania) and Musa Keklik (Turkey), examined 1,565 works by 450 artists from 56 countries.
“Sinop, which takes its name from Sinope, which made Zeus fall in love with it, is under threat from a nuclear power plant and a copper mine these days. Diogenes of Sinop, instead of wandering around with a lantern in his hand during the day and “looking for people”, was seeking support for the protection of Sinop’s nature… We would like to thank all the artists of the world who did not remain indifferent to Diogenes’ search and supported our struggle for a “Livable Environment” with their beautiful works…”
