Cartoon contest on Climate Change
If you are young, creative, have a sense of humour and are concerned
about climate change, here is your chance to put all of this to good
use. British Council in partnership with the
 Ken Sprague Fund UK
announces a carton contest on climate change. The contest is organized
as part of the British Council project Low Carbon Futures Project which
focuses on mitigating the effects of climate change in an urban
environment.
The contest is open to all Sri Lankan citizens from 18 to 35 years.
There are several themes to choose from - drought and water shortage,
deforestation and rain forest destruction, melting of the ice caps, role
of industry in polluting the atmosphere, devastation of our seas and
disappearance of marine life and climate change in an urban environment.
The entries will be judged by a panel of eminent cartoonists from Sri
Lanka and the UK. There are exciting prizes to be own from a laptop,
Smart-phone to an i-Pod. Additionally the award winning entries along
with the ones that make it to the final shortlist will be exhibited in
Sri Lanka in March 2010.
Cartoons should be made by hand. Entries can be submitted as a
hard/scanned copy in high resolution. Cartoons should be in black and
white. Material to be used. White Paper (size 12x15 inches) and ink and
brush/Black Felt Pen/Charcoal. Maximum five entries per individual are
allowed.
Only original work should be submitted, copying will lead to
disqualification, even if found at a later date.
So get ready to draw the laughs because climate change is serious
business.
Deadline has now been extended to Monday December 7, 2009.
