Climate change cartoon competition - July 07, 2008

Winner enhanced.jpg

This is the winning entry in the Ken Sprague Fund’s climate change cartoon competition. The winner, drawn by Mikhail Zlatkovsky, was exposed to the public last week.

On his blog, competition judge Morten Morland describes it as: “... a superb image of a sleazy cosmic flasher - representing earth - soiling the innocence and beauty of the universe. An incredibly powerful, creative and well executed take on the environmental challenges facing the world - a subject which in cartooning terms is riddled with clichés.”

Below the fold, more entries.

2nd place: Constantin Ciosu

The Independent has more entries, including this brilliant one from Cristina Bernazzani.

Cartoonist Ken Sprague died in 2004 and the fund set up in his name runs an annual political cartoon competition (wikipedia entry, obit in the Independent).

That looks beautiful and full of poetry... Good and refreshing initiative.

What about a competition on animated cartoons such as http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=b1kf_axslfk?
