The 1st International Cartoon Competition "Mysteries of Huhla" 2026, Bulgaria

1st International Cartoon Competition “The Mysteries of Huhla”, Bulgaria
Topic: “Huhla – the Center of the World
SPECIFICATION
OBJECT: 
The Art Festival “Mysteries of Huhla” will be held for the 28th time this year. It has already established itself as one of the most beloved and spectacular cultural events in Bulgaria. In order not to stop its rise, we decided to enrich it with another significant event “The 1st International Cartoon Competition “Mysteries of Huhla`2026”. 
The village of Huhla is located below the St. Iliya Peak in the mystical Rhodope Mountains - the homeland of the legendary Thracian king-singer Orpheus. St. Iliya Peak is the beginning of the Rhodope Mountains, and through Huhla, along the Arda River The Roman-built road "Via Rhodopea" ran along it. Near the river, near the village of Huhla, there is also the long-sought-after site of archaeologists "The Stones of King Darius", mentioned by Herodotus - the father of history. Many legends have been passed down through the The Roman-built road "Via Rhodopea" ran along it. Near the river, near the village of Huhla, there is also the long-sought-after site of archaeologists "The Stones of King Darius", mentioned by the father of history Herodotus. Many legends have been passed down through the generations about St. Iliya Peak, and the place is truly magnetic. 
There was life on it as early as the 12th century BC, and also a sanctuary, which is mapped on the archaeological map of Bulgaria. Artifacts of Dionysus, Hygieia, Asclepius, as well as a Thracian horseman and chariots have been found there. At the top there is an ancient Thracian Tomb, not yet explored. Scientists from the Mining and Geological Institute believe that in the sanctuary at the top, as well as the sanctuary of Ada Tepe, there lived priests, who managed the gold mining in the region. In Huhla and on Ada Tepe there were the first gold mines in the world. At night, the lights of three countries can be seen from here - Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece. 
Only 29 people currently live in the village of Huhla, but it is famous for having the most writers per capita – there are three nationally recognized authors. The names of many athletes, dancers, musicians, doctors, engineers, and businessmen are also associated with Huhla. The people of Huhla consider their village as a cosmopolitan place and jokingly call it “The Center of the World”. Everyone is very artistic. 
Today, the inhabitants of Huhla live all over the world, but every year they return here for another holiday, “The Mysteries of Huhla.” We decided to enrich this holiday by using the universal language of cartoons, which is can be equally understood by everyone. Therefore, we invite all artists, professionals and amateurs working in the field of cartooning, to make their own interpretations on the topic "Huhla - the Center of the World"

International press cartoon contest: "Pastoralism, mobility at the heart of the balance"

International press cartoon contest:
"Pastoralism, mobility at the heart of the balance"

Rules for the international press cartoon contest as part of the 2026 International Desertif'actions Summit and the United Nations International Year of Pastoralism and Pastoral Peoples in 2026. 

Motivations and background: after "Land and drought" in Montpellier in 2022, "Earth and climate" in Montpellier in 2015, "Land and climate, time to act" in Strasbourg in 2017 and "Draw me the Great Green Wall" in Ouagadougou in 2019, the Desertif'actions 2026 Summit press cartoon contest is dedicated to the cause of pastoralism and pastoral peoples. 
"Choosing the theme of pastoralism for a press cartoon competition means highlighting its richness and complexity, its roots in the history of the territories and its confrontation with the challenges and solutions for millions of people living on land and natural spaces that have not yet been artificially developed". 
We invite designers to use their creativity and critical eye to explore the many facets of this lifestyle and the issues involved. 

Article 1: Participants 
The international press cartoon contest is an initiative of the organisers of the 6th International Désertif'actions 2026 Summit, to be held in Djerba (Tunisia) from 25 to 28 March 2026. 
The competition is open to any cartoonist from any country who has published at least one cartoon in a print or online media since January 2025. Each cartoonist may submit only two drawings, in black and white or in colour. 

Article 2: Theme of the contest 
For its 5th drawing competition, the organisers of Désertif'actions 2026 wanted to tackle a subject that is often neglected or controversial: pastoralism. And yet pastoralism is a huge issue for many countries and base of livelihoods in drylands. 
The theme of the competition, "Pastoralism, mobility at the heart of a balance", invites press cartoonists to explore the complex and often delicate relationship between humans, animals and the environment facing changes. It can evoke: 
• Mobility as a strategy for adapting to local ecological constraints and climate hazards 
• The beauty and serenity of the countryside: vast expanses, peaceful herds, the slow rhythm of the seasons... a striking contrast to the frenetic pace of the modern world. 
• An ancestral way of life: traditions and know-how handed down from generation to generation, a deep and respectful bond with nature. 
• Contemporary challenges: climate change (droughts, floods), pressure on land, cohabitation with wildlife, agricultural policies, economic profitability, the attractiveness of the profession to younger generations. 
• Environmental issues: the role of grazing in maintaining landscapes, fire prevention and biodiversity, as well as the potential negative impacts of unsustainable management. 
• Social and cultural aspects: Pastoralism as part of the identity of certain regions, conflicts of use, rural tourism. 
• The figure of the farmer: An often-solitary figure, faced with the vagaries of nature and economic constraints, but also the guardian of knowledge and a special bond with his animals. 
• Animal welfare: The question of rearing conditions and respect for animals in an extensive system. 

The Press Drawing angle 
As the subject of a press cartoon competition, pastoralism offers fertile ground for humour, satire, social criticism and awareness-raising. The drawings could deal with: 
• The gap between the idyllic image and the sometimes harsh reality of the profession. 
• The contradictions between public policies and society's expectations of livestock farming. 
• The absurdities of certain situations linked to regulations or conflicts of use. 
• Highlighting the crucial issues for the future of pastoralism. 
• Endearing or caricatured characters representing the various players in the pastoral world. 

Article 3: Submission of the drawing 
The drawing submission must be sent to the following e-mail address: concours.desertif.actions@gmail.com with the words "DA 26 DRAWING COMPETITION" in the subject line. 
Before the deadline of 15 NOVEMBER 2025 at 00 hours in electronic format. The image must be sent as a 300 dpi minimum JPEG file in A4 format.

• Title, Surname, First name 
• Email address 
• Telephone number (or WhatsApp) 
• Postal address 
• Country of residence 
• Facebook / LinkedIn / Instagram page 
• Website 
• Alias, designer's pseudonym 
• Designer's biography (5 to 10 lines) 
• Drawing title 
In addition, if there is text on the drawing, a French and English translation of the drawing must be provided in the accompanying email. 

Article 4: Prize 
The prizes awarded by the organisers are as follows: 
First prize: € 1,500 
Second prize: € 750 
The winner of the first prize will be invited to Djerba in Tunisia for the Désertif'actions 2026 event from 25 to 28 March 2026, where he or she will receive the prize and a dedicated creation.
