Hunters and Biodiversity: sketching biodiversity through cartoons

The “CIC Hunting in Art” prize was established with the aim to reward an artist, museum or cultural organisation, which promotes the values of hunting. The “2020 CIC Hunting in Art prize” will aim to showcase the contribution of hunters to biodiversity through the lens of comics. We want to show the world how much hunters do for nature and biodiversity.

Help us to promote our values and support wildlife conservation through your art. We are seeking humorous submissions, consisting of drawings / illustrations only. Please do not use written text in any comic strip / cartoon. Let your humour convey the message!

Please note that we are accepting artworks from all applicants, regardless of location, so we encourage you to send us your art!

Applicants are welcome to submit multiple artworks to the “Hunting in Art” Prize, and we recommend that all submissions are signed by the original artist.
