to you all, cartoonists! 23 years after the latest edition, the GSL (Lavis’ speleological group) calls for pencils back to work as it announces, with ‘deep’ pride, the eighth international edition of the speleocartoon concourse.
Human beings have always been exploring aiming high, towards wide open spaces, mountain peaks, even the furthest reaches of the Universe. Speleologists, going with their gut, go against the tide and look down, to the deep dark of caves.
Those places do exist thanks to the unceasing labor of the water, that rushes into mountains drop by drop, turning into a stream and then into an underground river.
Cavers walk across empty spaces, tight passages and wide shafts created by water, as far as the water allows them to do it.
No matter if you’re a speleologist or not, or whether you want to plunge in our world or if you prefer to remain on the surface:
every reason can be a useful boost to set your fantasy free and take part in this blind date.
