Amsterdam, NL (August 10, 2023): The European Press Prize and

Studio Europa Maastricht, founders of the European Cartoon Award,

proudly announce the 16 Nominees of the 2023 edition of the

contest. This year’s Shortlist includes cartoons selected among over

400 entries from more than 25 countries.


Sixteen nominated cartoons

The works of the 16 finalists were selected from over 400 entries coming from more

than 25 countries, European and beyond, by a Jury composed of award-winning

cartoonists, journalists, and experts.


Niels Bo Bojesen, Danish cartoonist and Chair of the Panel of Judges:

“During the lengthy process of selection, it has been rewarding to witness

the variety and mastery of the many submissions, ranging from sheer

poetry to stark and striking statements - and anything in between. As

always it is difficult - and sometimes painful - to have to choose from an

even field, but recognising the shared capacity of the members of the Jury, I

am confident we have been able to help shine a light on the high level of

current European editorial cartooning.”


Here is the list of the 16 Nominees the finalist cartoons belong to:

Angel Boligán (Mexico), António Antunes (Portugal), Ben Jennings (United

Kingdom), Cláudio Antônio Gomes (Brazil), Cristina Sampaio (Portugal), Emad

Hajjaj (Jordan), Harry Burton (Ireland), Marco De Angelis (Italy), Marilena Nardi

(Italy), Mihai Gabriel Boboc (Romania), Patrick Chappatte (Switzerland), Plop &

KanKr (France), Raimundo Rucke Souza (Brazil), Sinisa Pismestrovic (Austria),

Tjeerd Royaards (The Netherlands), Víctor Solís (Mexico).

Emanuele Del Rosso, Deputy Director of the ECA:

“The 16 finalists, and in general the entire Longlist, show us so clearly that

editorial cartoons are like an antibody that helps us keep our society healthy.

Cartoonists point to all the problems, the pathogen agents, that attack our

democracies. They point them out to us and, hopefully, help us deal with such

issues. I am very proud of being part of the ECA, because we help cartoonists

doing their precious job.”

The Award Ceremony in The Hague

The Winners of the ECA 2023 will be announced on September 14, at the Beeld & Geluid

‘Cartoons Day’, a one-day event entirely dedicated to editorial cartoons.

From the early afternoon until the late evening, experts, activists, artists and cartoonists

will sit together in the rooms of the Beeld & Geluid Museum of The Hague for

workshops and panels, book presentations and talks. They will connect with their

audience, draw their cartoons, and teach the subtle art of editorial cartoons.

After 18.30, when all the afternoon activities will finish, the Award Ceremony will begin,

and this year’s Judges will present the Winner, Runners-up and Honourable Mentions on

stage.

After the Award Ceremony, an exhibition showcasing the 40 longlisted works of the ECA

About the European Cartoon Award

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.

We award courage and quality in the field of cartooning and foster conversation on the topic of

Europe.

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: often just a

single image, they hold up a mirror, make change negotiable and induce public debate.

Cartoons are an important part of an open debate, of questioning both old ideas and introducing new

ones. Yet, more than any other form of journalism, cartoons are feeling the strain of the shrinking

space for freedom of expression.

To encourage cartoonists to continue their essential task, we have launched the European Cartoon

Award, worth €10,000.
