Cartoon Movement and Cartooning for Peace are pleased to join forces to participate in the 2020 edition of the World Press Freedom Conference, organized by UNESCO and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, on 9 and 10 December online, and propose three main actions.
DIGITAL CARTOON WALL
During the conference, and in the week before, Cartooning for Peace and Cartoon Movement invite you to share your own thoughts, ideas, comments, concerns, sketches or photos regarding press freedom and artistic freedom. Between December 2 and December 10, we’ll be collecting the best comments and ideas, and giving them to our community of cartoonists to work into political cartoons about press freedom.
The resulting cartoons can be seen here on this page. The best cartoons are published on our selection page, and are also shared on social media. If your comment gets turned into a cartoon, you could win a high quality art print of that cartoon to hang on your wall!
So how can you share your thoughts, sketches, photos? Easy! Via Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram, using the hashtag #digitalcartoonwall. Or just send an email to cartoons@cartoonmovement.com.
