One image can...
communicate more than dozens of pages of text or hours of speeches. One image can change the course of history. Editorial cartoons draw attention to important political, economic, and social issues like nothing else. Using symbols or visual metaphors, their reach transcends country borders and language barriers.
The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) invites you to share creative ways of capturing key issues affecting the development of your country.
There are no restrictions on who can participate in this competition – it is open to participants of all ages, professional and amateur cartoonists.
