We have the pleasure to introduce the new event in the world scenario of Graphic Humor- The 3^rd Humor Salon of Paraguaçu Paulista- Brazil , an event which is totally focused on the drawing art and artist’s valorization. We have learned a lot within the past two editions and now we have the chance to put in practice the experience and potential acquired and make the 2007 Salon a success. All the innovations experienced in the other two events have been kept and sharpened as the total freedom of work techniques , the registration form and the way of sending material (by website or mail).

        As usual, we will have the four universal categories of Graphic Humor- Cartoon, Political Cartoon, Comic Strips and Caricature. The Thematic Cartoon category, in 2007 will deal with an universal issue: The Energy. The artists are encouraged to work with this theme regarding its huge importance towards our economy and comfort or if they prefer, they can get inspiration from any kind of energy present or not in every movement, environment, creatures, spirits, shapes, colors, machines, places, manners and from any other thing they can think and get inspiration from.

       Good drawing,
