OSTEN Skopje is proud to announce the 53rd World Gallery Of Cartoons – Skopje 2021, and to invite submissions by authors from around the world.

The organizer invites all participants to attend the opening of the exhibition and presentation awards ceremony in September 2021 in Skopje, North Macedonia.
For every edition of the World Gallery of Cartoons, OSTEN also publishes an exclusive catalog with the works of the selected cartoonists.
The theme and technique for 2021 are free and left to the author’s choice.
The awarded authors receive appropriate Certificates and printed copy of the catalog via post mail. Their works remain in the OSTEN Collection.
OSTEN’s World Gallery of Cartoons is the one and only event of such provenance in the Republic of North Macedonia, the oldest in the Balkan and one of the most long-standing in the world. It was established back in 1969, making artistic forms like cartoon, satiric drawing and comic strips available to the wider audience.
