✨ In a vibrant celebration that brings together wit and the depth of visual expression, the organizing committee of the International Caricature Competition – Egypt 2025 has officially announced the list of participating artists in this exceptional edition, dedicated to drawing a caricature portrait of the prominent Bahraini artist Ali Al-Sumikh.
๐ This tribute comes in recognition of one of the pillars of caricature art in the Arab world, and out of a firm belief that refined satire has the power to break barriers and foster a cultural and human dialogue across continents.
๐จ This year’s contest, organized by Abla Art Foundation, in collaboration with Tomato Cartoon, Egypt Cartoon Platform, and "Nas El-Helwa" TV Program, has received over 140 entries from 120 artists representing 36 countries around the globe – an impressive show of global interest, artistic diversity, and cultural solidarity.
๐ผ️ The submitted artworks offered a graceful blend of serenity, creativity, and visual elegance, with styles ranging from witty exaggeration to gentle humor, these portraits reflected not just the physical features of Ali Al-Sumikh but also the depth of his artistic spirit, interpreted with respectful playfulness and artistic intelligence.
