Starting with 2003, The HumoDÆVA INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST has a new dimension – a world wide, permanent one. Any inhabitant of the planet – which has access to the Internet, of course – can see the Exhibitions (sitting comfortably at home, in his armchair), and also the prizes and the selected drawings. Those exhibitions are open non-stop, 7 days a week, from 0 until 24! And there is no entrance fee!
You can view and review at any time your cartoons witch are displayed here, or you can invite your friends to see your works. You can save the works you like, e - mail them to whoever you wish or send them as e-cards.
For all of this, it’s enough to follow the links:
HumoDAEVA 2005: http://www.besthumo r.info/html/ humodaeva. html .
In 2007, as soon as the works arrive at us, we will select, scan and display them in the virtual gallery of HumoDÆVA 2007 ( http://www.besthumo r.info/html/ humodaeva. html ). So, you can visit us from time to time, to see if your drawings arrived, how many of them were selected for the contest, and to see if you are one of the winners!
In addition, near every drawing you will find a voting system witch you can use to give marks to the works. Your vote will help us to choose five web - winners, witch will receive prizes from the organizers!
The catalogue for the previous edition, together with the personal album, in full-color, of the GRAND PRIZE Winner of the 5th edition, Ali Miraee, are in printing now and will be sent to all the participants starting the second part of November, 2006.
