The 31st Aydın Doğan International Cartoon Contest Exhibition has opened at the D&R Tunalı Hilmi in Ankara.

This year, 814 cartoonists from 70 countries joined the competition with a total of 2,556 pieces. The international committee gathered in Bodrum earlier this year to evaluate 300 cartoons by 214 artists from 43 countries, which had been chosen by the pre-selection committee.

Turkish cartoonist Kürşat Zaman won first prize. Second place went to Iranian artist Mojtaba Heidarpanah and third to Polish Krzysztof Grzondziel, who was also last year’s winner.

The exhibition in Ankara will be on display until Nov. 6.
