1. The theme for the 20th International Editorial Cartoon Competition is:
"Pulling the plug on social media"

After a storm over the publication of a cartoon deemed anti-Semitic, the New York Times stopped publishing editorial cartoons in their international publication.
In August, India stripped Kashmir of its constitutional autonomy and isolated it from the world by cutting it off from the Internet.

Thirty years after the fact, the Chinese are still kept in the dark about the Tiananmen Square massacres.

Iran can claim, without risk of contradiction, that its response to the attack on General Soleimani killed 80 American soldiers.Increasingly, we see that the powers in place do not suffer contradiction.

2. Three prizes will be awarded: 
a first prize of $1500 plus a Certificate from Canadian UNESCO, 
a second prize of $750 and 
a third prize of $500. 

All sums are in Canadian dollars. Ten additional cartoons will receive an ‘Award of Excellence.’ Regrettably no financial remuneration accompanies the Awards of Excellence.

3. Only one cartoon will be accepted from each cartoonist. It may be either in colour or black and white and must not have won an award.
