You might remember that I mentioned some while ago (CD-Traveller, 14 December 2008) that there would be an international competition, the first of its kind, for tourism cartoons. Just under 600 works were submitted from 50 countries. 269 cartoonists took part in the Turkish organised competition.
The winner was Cemalettin Guzeloglu from Turkey with his cartoon of a cruiseship moored in some big city. Exiting the boat is a ramp with rows of unloaded supermarket trolleys on the quayside. The assumption is that all cruiseship passengers do is to shop.
Six of the cartoons can be found at www.tabrizcartoons.com.
