The First  International Cartoon Contest

 CANADIAN BANANA

Dear Artist,

The First  International Cartoon Contest Canadian Banana

is inviting works of artists from all over the world.
We sincerely invite you to participate in the competition; it is great honor for us to have your submissions in our contest.

We are going to highlight one of the most serious problems - alcohol addiction and alcoholism.

Modern world is facing a huge problem – alcohol consumption which has dramatically increased during last years.
It caused kids' alcoholism, numerous deaths in traffic accidents, family drama, health problems and other social disasters.
Let’s mock people with a bottle in hand in a smart and intelligent way like you do dear collegues!

Thanks for your support and courage,

 Sincerely yours,

Oleg Dergachov
