— One Race: Human
Racism — an affliction as old as humanity itself — continues to plague our world. Despite centuries of progress and countless acts of courage, this deep-rooted prejudice remains stubbornly alive.
With this year’s theme, “Racism – One Race: Human”, we call upon cartoonists from around the globe to wield their pens not just as tools of humor or satire, but as instruments of change. Let us confront the absurdity of racial superiority with powerful lines and striking ideas. Let us expose the injustice — not with anger, but with the universal language of art.
We invite you to join us in this creative resistance. Turn your thoughts into images, your indignation into inspiration — and help us show the world that beneath our differences, there is only one race: the human race.
