The international jury selects the best cartoons from entries sent in by cartoonists worldwide.\u00a0 They are included in the exhibition and published in the cartoons catalogue. Each cartoonist can submit just one cartoon in each of the three categories. All entries must be works that have been published over the last year in one of the press outlets or internet portals. Overall, more than 900 works, published in 68 countries, participated in the competition and 280 of them were picked for exhibition. Two of my cartoons were selected for the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/karikatura.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/WE18.07.10-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/karikatura.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/WE18.07.10-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/karikatura.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/WE18.07.10-2-510x306.jpg 510w, https:\/\/karikatura.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/WE18.07.10-2-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/karikatura.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/WE18.07.10-2-600x360.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"411\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/karikatura.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/W18.10.18-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/karikatura.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/W18.10.18-1.jpg 411w, https:\/\/karikatura.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/W18.10.18-1-193x300.jpg 193w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TUdiHa-KRa0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All cartoons being exhibited can be <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"find here.
