World Press Cartoon
World Press Cartoon is an independent organization based in Lisbon, Portugal. Founded in 2005 the organization is known for holding one of the world's largest and most prestigious annual press cartoon contests. World Press Cartoon has also organized separate exhibitions under thematic criteria, as gender violence or environment protection. In 2022 World Press Cartoon had its 17th edition.
From 2005 to 2014 the awards ceremony was held in Sintra. In 2015 in Cascais and from 2017 to 2022 in Caldas da Rainha. A new venue is expected to be announced early in 2025.
After the contest, the prizewinning cartoons are assembled into a traveling exhibition that was already presented in Spain,[1] France, Belgium, Mozambique, Brazil, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, Mexico, United Kingdom, Namibia, China and India. A catalogue presenting all the prizewinning entries is published annually in English and Portuguese.
Another primary objective of the organization is to support professional cartoonists on a wide international scale, with a special focus in the freedom of the press.
