CARTOONS AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING

CARTOONISTS have the chance to demonstrate their talent and do their bit for the environment.
The Ken Sprague Fund has launched its second international political cartoon competition on the subject of the environment, entitled Earthworks 2008. Cartoonists are invited to submit works on the subject of our threatened environment, particularly global warming.
The competition is sponsored by the Political Cartoon Gallery, New Internationalist and the Morning Star. Guardian cartoonist Martin Rowson is chair of the jury.
The Ken Sprague Fund was set up to commemorate the work and ideas of the cartoonist and graphic artist, Ken Sprague, who died in 2004.
The first prize is £500, the second £300 and the third £200.
Cartoons can be submitted in electronic format (good resolution) or, preferably, as original works. Cartoons with text and/or captions not in English should (if possible) be accompanied by a translation.
An exhibition of the best of the submissions will be organised in London and the prize-winning cartoons will be published in the Morning Star and other journals.
The organisers undertake to give due credit to the artists and ensure they receive any royalties/payments that may accrue as a result of the competition.
The first ten cartoons will be displayed on www.kenspraguefund.org
Entries must be submitted by June 1. Submissions to: comp2008@
kenspraguefund.org
