We share the World Press Cartoon with many cities and countries, so that this salon becomes a truly global project. Since 2005, following the annual exhibitions in Portugal, we organized several cartoon events around the world: Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Croatia, France, India, Mexico, Mozambique, Namibia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain and United Kingdom already hosted WPC exhibitions. Contacts are ongoing for exhibitions to be held in Argentina, Cap Verde, Greece, South Africa and the USA.

 

The cartoons displayed are original artwork by the artists or digital prints certified by the World Press Cartoon seal. A catalogue with all the cartoons presented in the annual exhibition is available in English and Portuguese. Smaller publications were ocasionally produced by demand of the local exhibition organizers.

Editorial cartoons and caricatures in the pages of the world’s press are a unique way of social and political criticism.

The graphic humour as an instrument of opinion bypasses the limits of the written word

and expands to global horizons the exercise of journalism.

 This is undoubtedly one of journalistic domains in which international exchange should be commonplace.

World Press Cartoon is the most prestigious showcase to celebrate the press graphic humour.

It offers a range of worthy prizes designed to establish that the Salon as a reference of excellence

for all connected with the editorial cartoons and caricatures.

Open to cartoonists from all over the world, World Press Cartoon established a new standard for editorial graphics competition.
