Finalists of the first edition of the LIBEX-2018 Contest

From the website of the LIBREXPRESSION Center.


Fifty five cartoons were chosen for the final selection of the first edition of the LIBEX-2018 contest launched on May 15th by the Euro-Mediterranean Center LIBREXPRESSION of the “Giuseppe Di Vagno” Foundation, on the theme chosen for the 14th edition of the Lector In Fabula festival: “Imagination and Power in the digital age“.

A very successful first edition: 260 candidates from 55 countries, send 635 cartoons. The works all boast a very high level and a sensitivity very close to the challenges of modernity: from smart phones to Artificial Intelligence, to Robots.

The selection of the finalists was not easy for the jury composed of internationally renowned cartoonists Fabio Magnasciutti and Marco De Angelis, and by three journalists, managing editors, who use satirical cartoons in their media: Gian Paolo Accardo (Voxeurop.eu), Cristiana Castellotti (RAI-Radio 3) and Piero Ricci (La Repubblica, President of the Order of Journalists of Puglia). The jury was chaired by Thierry Vissol, director of LIBREXPRESSION – “Di Vagno” Foundation.

The 55 finalist cartoons will be part of the exhibitionset up in the cloister of the Monastery of San Benedetto in Conversano (BA), Italy.

The 10 best cartoons among these 55, will be voted in the coming days and reproduced in the form of postcards. All finalists will receive a copy of the exhibition catalog.
