🇵🇪 The city of Arequipa (Peru) has been the birthplace of outstanding caricaturists, many of whom have showcased their talent in nationally recognized publications. In recognition of the importance of this art form, the Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano announces the fourth edition of the international competition “Gran Premio de Caricatura Málaga Grenet 2026”.
🏙️ We seek to revalue the art of physiognomic portrait caricature, an artistic genre that humorously exaggerates the most distinctive facial features of a person while preserving their essence and recognizability. Our goal is to elevate the genre to the category of a work of art.
