Official Catalog of the 11th World Humor Awards, Italy 2026
The Organizing Committee of the 11th World Humor Awards in Italy has released the official catalog of its 2026 edition, bringing together a rich collection of cartoons and caricatures by artists from around the world.
This year’s Cartoon section explored the theme “Kindness and Courtesy, Reality or Appearance,” inviting artists to reflect on the relationship between genuine consideration and outward politeness. The caricature section, “Six Characters Looking for an Author,” featured interpretations of King Felipe VI, Jacinda Ardern, Keanu Reeves, Meryl Streep, Usain Bolt, and Jasmine Paolini.
The top three Cartoon awards went to Angel Boligan, Fan Lintao, and Hicabi Demirci, while Matias Tolsà, Ivan Mata, and Maria Picassò Piquer received the gold, silver, and bronze trophies in the caricature section.
The catalog offers readers an opportunity to explore different artistic approaches to visual humor, social observation, and portraiture, while preserving a valuable record of this international event.
IranCartoon warmly congratulates all award winners and recognized artists on their achievements. We also extend our sincere congratulations and appreciation to the organizing committee, the jury, and everyone who contributed to the event and the publication of its catalog. Their dedication helps strengthen international artistic exchange and bring the expressive power of cartoons and caricatures to wider audiences.
