Iranian media cites organizers as saying competition scheduled for June 2016 is expected to draw in participants from 50 countries.



An international cartoon contest held in Tehran is set this year to focus on the Holocaust, offering a $50,000 cash prize to the winner.

The organizers of the 11th Tehran International Cartoon Biennial announced on Wednesday that the competition scheduled for June 2016 was expected to draw in participants from 50 countries, according to Iran's semi-official IRNA news agency.

While competition is likely to produce contentious works, the organizers of the contest affiliated with the Tehran municipality did not specifically hold such viewpoints on the Nazi atrocities during World War II.

“We do not mean to approve or deny the Holocaust, however, the main question is that why is there no permission to talk about the Holocaust despite their (the West) belief in freedom of speech," IRNA quoted contest secretary Masud Shojai-Tabatabai as saying.

However, he indicated the accusation that Israel leveraged the genocide of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust against the Palestinians.

“Moreover, why should the oppressed people of Palestine pay the price for the Holocaust?" he was quoted as saying.

On the sidelines of the competition encouraging illustrators to draw about the Holocaust, the biennial had reportedly arranged for a geopolitcially-motived portrait contest focusing on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Iran's foe Israel.

Last May, a similar competition took place in Iran at the Second International Holocaust Cartoon Contest.

When you start a cartoon war Johnny you should expect art attacks in retaliation and not whine about getting what you asked for.

Somebody do the artwork that shows a Jewish guy (cap showing) from the back and you can see part of a bouquet of flowers that he brought with him and in front of him is an empty field (representing the 'reduced number conspiracy angle ' to the extreme) It is was a false flag operation by hidden people with a hidden agenda.
Split the win 70% me 30% artist.

T i t for tat...

Please let you be the artist in 'our' win. (100% for me is something I could put up with)

How would the 'black night skit go? Suicide bomber with crappy bombs??
How's your drawing hand? Yesterday you showed a desire to be universally hated, the cartoon as mild as it is would make your wish come true beyond your wildest dreams. lol

Then they cry around about someone drawing pictures of the prophet Mohammad, go figure

It didn't seem to stop said pictures from appearing and the complaining amounted to free PR for the 'artwork'. Guess where the prints were made?? Really, go ahead, you won't believe where the mail-order house is located.

It's a great contest. It will draw more participants than last year.

Good one, got an artistic hand?? Let's hope the opposite happens as soon as our entry is accepted.

I say we call in our American special op team. Nuk the whole city in response Laugh out loud

We best keep you well entertained and contained.

Let em have their silly contest.

I think speech should never be censored, not even the most outlandishly ignorant speech.

Angerstrong, a question. The 'hostage rescue' in 1980 didn't go so well, you sure you want to see a repeat?

It isn't like the West will publish any of them.

The host should allow an online poll so the decision is a global one.

Exactly, the Iranians look like a bunch of knuckle dragging Neanderthals, and they are well within their right.

Why don't you enter the contest, you're the resident Jew hater here, and a few others..

You are stuttering. Do you even read the thread as I pointed out you should be my artist and I already gave you the details of the toon.

So why is this even a thread if we don't care about it?

I hate you for a lot of reasons, being Jewish isn't one of them.

Or Woody Woodpecker.

I didn't start the thread, but if you're asking why I am posting, well isn't that the nature of being on a forum?

Back on topic: Iran could be a great contributor to this world, but they choose hate over advancement. It's pathetic really.

Following the wisdom of false prophets who wouldn't know God if he kicked them in the a$$.

I see them as my enemies, You on the other hand see them as your own Kin.

Do they even show loonie tunes on TV anymore?

They are advanced enough for the stinking Misraelis to whine continuously for decades about exactly that advancement. If the Iranians were as bloodthirsty as Misrael they would have destroyed that nest of thieves and liars years ago. They have the ability to do that in several hours.
