Corum Journalists' Association-2nd Cartoon Competition-Turkey / 2008

Deadline: April, 8 2008

Theme: Are we going to burn or freeze?

Aim: Our world is getting polluted rapidly from many sides for the last two hundred years. The gases comes out of the factories' and houses' chimneys and of the exhaust of the motor vehicles -having increased rapidly after the Industrial Revolution -are causing the climate changes which have never seen before since the Ice Age, which was millions of years ago. The regression of gradually melting glaciers' to the polars and the loss of ice cap, on high mountains, the rise of sea level, the migration of plant & fish species, the decrease in the number of bird species because of the air pollution, the rapid growth of the annual rings in trees are, of course, the indicators of rapidly warming in the earth. However, the meteorologists are talking about the probability of shutdown of the Gulf Stream warm water current, which is transporting the warm sea water from the equator to the western Europe, because of the melting of the North Pole glaciers; and finally, the possibility of a new ice age in Northwest Europe at the end. In other words, the global warming can bring our world to a new ice age at the end. It is uncertain/indefinite whether we're going to burn or freeze as a result of the global climate change. Arranging the second cartoon competition, Corum Journalists' Association aims to reflect the effects of the global climate change on natural world under the title of "Are we going to burn or freeze?" with the universal language of cartoons. I invite all cartoon artists to our competition and wish success to all/them.

US and Non-US Contests

There are lots of contests in US in lots of sectors. Some contests charge entry fee and some do not. A number of contests are open to both US and Canadian citizens. But for the rest of the world does not have that lots of contests available to them. So, in spite of being talented and worthy and deserving, many people around the world just don't get enough opportunities to show off what they are capable of!

I too suffered from this same problem.
My area of interest was essay contests and writing contests worldwide. But while searching for those on net, I discovered with wonder that there is no such site that lists all the global contests. Most sites paid attention mostly to contests that requires entry fees. But I was not willing to pay any entry fee as I am just a beginner and internet is a kingdom of cheats...
However, later I decided to introduce a website of my own targeting to the contest-lovers around the world. Thus http://www.contest.googlepages.com was given birth!

This website lists upcoming contests WORLDWIDE. Listed contests DO NOT charge any entry fee. Photo contests, writing contests, essay contests, idea contests, cartoon contests, art contests, design contests, logo contests and lot more other exciting contests are listed in this site. Features on freelance writing and freelance jobs are also going to be added in more detail soon... I believe I have done a reasonably good job ... Contest-lovers from around the world have no chance to be hopeless now!

To continue, I just need your encouragement and help...
Just visit www.contest.googlepages.com ; see.. how a website can turn your life...
