CARTOON CAPTION CONTEST: LEARN MORE
|
Consideration:
The purpose of our contest is to stimulate thoughtful, creative
solutions concerning political and social issues of major importance to
YOU. What matters about the way in which our Community, State and
Federal Government works? What would you like to see changed? What
existing programs or concepts need to be revised or perhaps abandoned
all together? What would you like to see us stand for as a Community
and as a Nation going forward? What key Founding Ideas and Principles
concerning our country need to be reintroduced for consideration?
The lead-in for the cartoon is "Two animals are talking...." On the bottom of the
cartoon is the quote from one of the animals, "I'm not entirely sure that's
what Jefferson had in mind...." The drawing is up to you!
In drawing your political cartoon, you can choose from any topic that
is of particular interest to you, for example:
- The
current state of the Economy, Unemployment and Job creation
- The Health
Care debate, the present state of our Education system
- Points of
view on Environmental issues and Green Technology
- Perspectives
on Congress
- The
process of electing our public officials
- or
any other issue that you feel passionate about!
Execution:
Keep your drawings strong, simple, and to your point. Have fun and
participate with your ideas. This contest is about
Creativity in the service of political and social alternative thinking.
We look forward to
seeing your views. Share your thoughts

Your drawing can
be any size and can be uploaded on the
Enter
