The Art of Resistance: Official Selection
March 8, 2018
With a total 1781 submissions from 76 countries we think our first international cartoon competition was a huge success! Out of all these submissions we made a shortlist of 200 cartoons; on March 5, this shortlist was presented to a professional jury, tasked with the difficult job to select the cartoons that will be featured in the upcoming exhibition ‘The Art of Resistance’ and to determine the winners.
The jury consisted of Hajo, a well-known Dutch cartoonist, Saskia van Loenen, chairperson of Pers & Prent (a foundation promoting political cartoons and organizer of the yearly Dutch cartoon award Inktspotprijs) and Michiel van Hattem, president of vfonds, a Dutch NGO with a focus on peace.
Together, they selected 57 cartoons, including 9 honorable mentions and 3 winners. The honorable mentions and winners will be announced on May 5th at the Freedom Festival in Flushing, the Netherlands. For now, we present the official selection of cartoonists, in no particular order:

Will be announced the list of 200 works?

Yes, we can do that. We're actually in the process of putting together a second exhibition out of the cartoons from the shortlist that did not make the jury selection. Once we have more info on that exhibition we'll share that selection, and the entire shortlist of the 200 cartoons as well.
