IRANIAN INSTITUTIONS TO HOLD CARTOON CONTEST ON THE HOLOCAUST
Given the refined manners of
the Persians and their highly sophisticated millennial and
documented civilization, we can bet right now that it will be something
much different than these ‘satirical’ cartoons of Charlie Hebdo…
“Iran’s House of Cartoon and the
Sarcheshmeh Cultural Complex plan to hold another international contest
on the theme of Holocaust denial in the near future.
The 2nd International Holocaust
Cartoons Contest has been organized in protest against French satirical
weekly Charlie Hebdo’s recent publication of the cartoons insulting
Prophet Muhammad (S), the secretary of the contest, Masud
Shojaei-Tabatabaii, said in a press conference on Saturday.
Shojaei-Tabatabaii, who is also
the director of Iran’s House of Cartoon, added that world cartoonists
are asked to submit their works before the first day of April.
The first place winners will receive a cash prize of $12,000, the second place will have $8000 and the third $5000.
The top selected works will
mainly go on show at the Palestine Museum of Contemporary Art in Tehran
and several other locations across the city.”
