'Toons for Nukes

In its previous cartoon contest, the Islamic Republic invited contestants to make fun of the Holocaust. Obviously pleased with the results, the IRI is once again wielding the cartoonist's pen or brush against the World Arrogance, this time in defense of its eminently peaceful nuclear program:

The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) invites cartoonists from all over the world to participate in its caricature contest.

Artists can submit their original pictorial satires on the theme of 'US Policy toward Iran's Nuclear Program'.

There is no limit on the number of items each artist can submit to the Festival, but none of the items should have been submitted to any other competition.

The first three winners will be awarded 1500, 1000, and 800 euros respectively. The 10 top cartoons will receive certificates.

Digital artworks should be sent via e-mail or on Compact Disc. The files should be sent in JPEG or GIF format with resolutions of at least 300 DPI.

Non-digital A4-size artworks should be sent via express mail. Non-digital artworks will not be returned.

The deadline for receipt of all entries is Dec. 21st, 2007.
