Mission
Quality journalism is of vital importance to healthy democracies – and cartoonists play a crucial role in this system of checks and balances. Their creations are the hallmark of an open society. With just a single image they hold up a mirror, make change negotiable, and foster public debate.
Cartoons are an important part of an open conversation, because they help us question old ideas and introduce new ones. Yet, more than any other form of journalism, cartoons are feeling the strain of the shrinking space for freedom of expression.
The European Cartoon Award was founded by the European Press Prize and Studio Europa Maastricht in 2019 – the year in which the New York Times decided to stop running editorial cartoons altogether. Studio Europa Maastricht and the European Press Prize aim to award courage and quality in the field of cartooning and foster conversation on the topic of Europe.
To encourage cartoonists to continue their essential task, we have launched the European Cartoon Award, worth €10,000.

Un giornalismo di qualità è di vitale importanza per democrazie sane e i fumettisti svolgono un ruolo cruciale in questo sistema di controlli ed equilibri. Le loro creazioni sono il segno distintivo di una società aperta. Con una sola immagine reggono uno specchio, rendono negoziabile il cambiamento e promuovono il dibattito pubblico.
I cartoon sono una parte importante di una conversazione aperta, perché ci aiutano a mettere in discussione le vecchie idee e ad introdurne di nuove. Eppure, più di ogni altra forma di giornalismo, i cartoni animati risentono della tensione del restringimento dello spazio per la libertà di espressione.
L'European Cartoon Award è stato fondato dallo European Press Prize e dallo Studio Europa Maastricht nel 2019 , l'anno in cui il New York Times ha deciso di interrompere del tutto le vignette editoriali. Lo Studio Europa Maastricht e l'European Press Prize mirano a premiare il coraggio e la qualità nel campo della vignettatura e favorire la conversazione sul tema dell'Europa.
Per incoraggiare i fumettisti a continuare il loro compito essenziale, abbiamo lanciato l'European Cartoon Award, del valore di 10.000 euro .
