Here are the rules and regulations:
1. The theme for the 17th International Editorial Cartoon Competition is:
F for fake

Yesterday a global network with libertarian accents, has the Internet become a threat to democracies?Corporate-funded think tanks and fake grassroots groups are now everywhere and consumers often have difficulty in finding the source of the “information” they disseminate.The phenomenon is compounded by the fact that one doesn’t need to actually be where something is happening in order to report on it.
Many have also criticized the role of algorithms used by social networks in limiting debate by enclosing their users in ideological bubbles.

The term “fake news” has further been co-opted as a means of silencing legitimate journalism or criticism, and when confronted by verifiable facts, the term "alternative facts" has even been invoked.

2. Prizes: three prizes will be given: a first prize of $

The theme:
Il tema:
Hard times and free speech
Momenti difficili e la libertà di parola.

When journalists and cartoonist face economic uncertainty or threats to their employment, there is great pressure to give up on tackling tough stories, give in to self-censorship or give attention to sensationalist journalism in the service of commercial sustainability. But can free speech survive hard times?
Quando i giornalisti e i cartonists devono affrontare l'incertezza economica o la minaccia del posto di lavoro, vi è una forte pressione di rinunciare ad affrontare storie difficili, cedere all'autocensura o di dare attenzione al giornalismo sensazionalista al servizio della sostenibilità commerciale. Ma può la libertà di parola e di disegno(aggiungo io) sopravvivere ai tempi duri?
