CGTN, for the first time, launches the International Cartoons and Illustrations Exhibition. This year’s theme “Embracing the Diversity of Civilizations,” calls for mutual respect among different civilizations to build bridges of friendship.

The event is open to cartoonists, illustrators, and all art enthusiasts worldwide. Works can be themed on diversity, equality, mutual learning and inclusiveness among civilizations, and can also depict the dire consequences of cultural estrangement, superiority and conflict of civilizations in human history.

Entries must be original, and each should be accompanied by a title and a short description. The style of work is not limited, and each author should not submit more than three pieces.

An online exhibition featuring a curated selection of works will be providing the authors with the opportunity to receive a certificate and have their works featured in a portfolio book. Furthermore, CGTN will showcase the artworks across multiple platforms to both Chinese and international viewers.

The submission deadline is August 13.

More information on how to submit can be found here.
