International Islamic Cartoon Contest

All Deadlines July 1, AD 2010

RULES

Maximum of one entry per person. Anonymous entries are allowed, however, only entries submitted with a legal name may be a winner.

Topic should be related to Islam in some way, and may be lighthearted, sarcastic, or like Dante. We reserve the right to ignore the submission if it is deemed the cartoon is lewd or pornographic, but sexual depictions or references are not automatically considered lewd.

All cartoons must be original work, and it must be created after January 4th, 2010. Cartoons that have been published elsewhere in 2010 are fine. If discovered, any submission that uses another's creative work, or violates these rules, will be disqualified and deleted.

By submitting an entry to laughyourheadoff.org in this fashion the entrant is giving laughyourheadoff.org legal permission to publish the submission on our website, with the copyright remaining with the author. There is no guarantee of a monetary prize for any submission, but we are looking for sponsors.

All entries must be sent by e-mail to: contest {at} laughyourheadoff \./ org before July 1st, AD 2010.

Cartoon entries will be posted on laughyourheadoff.org as the contest progresses.

Each submission must include the creator's name, or pseudonym. All information will be kept completely confidential. To be included in the contest, a pseudonym is allowed, but only cartoons submitted with a legal name will be considered for winning entries.

WINNERS

The winners will be chosen by a judge or judges picked by laughyourheadoff.org. Or, we may decide a way to judge using public voting.

We are currently looking for sponsors to provide prize-money for three top winners. If sponsors are found, this notice will change to reflect that. If you represent an organization or individual that wants to become a sponsor, please email info at laughyourheadoff dot org .

Winners will be notified by e-mail and their cartoons will be posted on the laughyourheadoff.org website and be sent to publications in press releases.
