Let your imagination run wild and draw the most representative cartoon you can of Santorini’s gastronomy and maybe your creation will be selected and displayed in the Cartoon Exhibition announced by the Municipality of Thira to take place in May on Santorini.
Santorini’s gastronomy is the theme of the cartoon exhibition that is organized within the framework of the “2013 Year of Gastronomy in Santorini” initiative.
Get creative!
The cartoons (black and white or colored with at least 300 dpi resolution) should be sent to cartoon2013santorini@gmail.com until 20 April 2013. Participants are requested to include a brief CV and personal details.
A committee will select the five most representative cartoons that relate to the subject and creators will be awarded a commemorative plaque.
Members of the committee: Christopher Asimis (artist), Christos Doumas (archaeologist), Vasilis Zorzos (architect), Yiannis Galaios (teacher), Dimitris Prassos (journalist) and Antonis Argyros (gallery owner).
Participants will be informed on the cartoons selected for the exhibition.

Great post! Hopefully it will attract some of readers to visit beautiful Santorini. Regards!
Unacceptable behavior by the organizers to the artists that participate. No one knows the names of the artists, they haven’t been announced even at organizer’s website! There is not any information to the Municipality’s website. The exhibition is open only about 3 hours a day. As an artist I thought that the municipality should pay much attention in running and promoting the exhibition. Of course no one can expect too much from the Greek government but the fact that they organize an exhibition for only 3 hours is really ridiculous!
