In one of the largest and most prestigious global cartoon events, the organizing committee of the 27th International Open Cartoon Contest in Zielona Góra, Poland has officially announced the list of artists whose works have been selected for inclusion in the post-contest exhibition and official printed catalog, under this year’s timely and resonant theme: "Fake News".
Organized by the Zielonogórski Ecological Foundation in collaboration with the City of Zielona Góra, the contest received a remarkable 746 entries from 220 artists representing 43 countries. Each artwork offered a unique satirical lens on today’s flood of misinformation in the digital age.
