The catalog of the international cartoon contest “Molla Nasraddin – Azerbaijan – 2018”, traditionally organized in Azerbaijan, was made and published. 325 cartoonists from 58 countries participated in the contest organized by the Union of Cartoonists of Azerbaijan with support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Union of Artists of Azerbaijan and the Federation of International Cartoonists Organizations. You could clearly feel friendship, love and kinship in each of the interesting and original work of world-famous cartoon masters. 

                             

Participation of famous and professional cartoonists such as Sergey Sychenko (Israel), Oleg Gutsol (Ukraine), Talal Nayer (Sudan), Valentin Georgiyev (Bulgaria) in the jury of the contest ensured the transparency of voting and objectivity in determining the winners.

 

I would like to express my deep gratitude to all my colleagues, dear friends and honorable jury who attended the contest. I wholeheartedly congratulate the winners of the contest. I wish my dear colleagues success in their work, and new victories! Happy New Year 2020
