Contest Theme

🔥 Forest Fires

Forest fires are a global disaster that destroy not only trees but also life, memory, and the future.

Every year, millions of hectares of forests in Türkiye and around the world are reduced to ashes due to human negligence, arson, climate crisis, and irresponsible interventions.

The aim of this contest is to raise public awareness of forest fires through the universal language of cartoon art and to encourage humanity to rethink its responsibility toward nature.
