  1. International Green Crescent Cartoon Contest-Turkey 2016

Turkish Green Crescent Society 
Turkish Green Crescent Society was established to fight against alcoholic beverages on March 5, 1920 in Istanbul.
In an atmosphere of moral and cultural development in the country, the Society was founded to combat addictions such as tobacco, alcohol and drug dependences that devastate physical and mental health of the youth and the public in general, to fight against all bad habits like gambling and internet and technology addiction that cause harm to the youth and the society, as well as to raise generations that are loyal to their national culture. In that framework, the Society mobilizes public awareness, power and resources to fight addictions, helps people in need under any circumstances, anywhere and anytime for preserving human dignity and respectability, and makes unceasing contribution to improvement of capacity to fight addictions. To that end, it also organizes joint events and establishes cooperation with national and international public and private institutions and non-governmental organizations.
