SUMMARY:Open Call Cartoons and Comics Competitions “Cartooning the ASEAN Way of Non-Interference and Consensus”
DESCRIPTION:SEA Junction\, in collaboration with Asia Justice and Rights (AJAR)\, invites cartoonists\, comics creators\, artists and arts collectives from countries in Southeast Asia to reflect on the future of the role of ASEAN in addressing current and emerging issues in the region. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic\, the coup in Myanmar and autocratic changes in other member states\, unresolved geo-political tensions and recessionary pressures have brought attention towards ASEAN\, prompting crucial questions on whether it is fulfilling or failing to fulfil its role\, and have put a spotlight on regional development and interaction.[1] With growing questions on whether ASEAN is indeed people-oriented as it claims in its Charter and “for whom” and whose interests ASEAN is acting\, there is an urgency to promote public discussion on the so-called “ASEAN Way” and particularly on the two core institutional principles of “Consensus” and “Non-Interference”. \nBoth concepts are today under discussion. Consensus has been seen as playing a positive role in fostering unity among the diverse members\, yet it has often delayed response\, with some arguing in favour of changing the rule to a majority one to enhance effectiveness. Likewise\, the Non-Interference principle is deemed to have given a positive contribution to ensure unduly interferences and promote respect “for the independence\, sovereignty\, equality\, territorial integrity\, and national identity of all nations” as stated in ASEAN’s Treaty of Amenity. However\, amid a worsening human rights crisis in the region especially in Myanmar and emerging transnational threats\, ASEAN has failed to provide protection of its people and ensure the respect of their human rights by appealing to this same principle. \nThe here announced competition “Cartooning the ASEAN Way of Non-Interference and Consensus” aims to enlist the creativity of cartoonists and comics creators to promote a critical understanding of ASEAN and its Consensus and Non-Interference principles.  Cartoons and comics combine textual and visual elements to express ideas and create narratives to communicate ideas\, balancing humour with seriousness. We trust that in this way they can draw attention to regional governance and trigger a conversation on steps needed in realizing a people-oriented ASEAN. \nTheme \n\nReflect on the role of ASEAN in addressing current and emerging issues\nDiscuss ASEAN principles of Consensus and/or Non-Interference\nExamine implications of the “ASEAN Way”\n\nRequirements \n\nCartoons and comics have to be original\nIf in local language\, translation in English ought to be provided\nFor comics (storyboards) there is a 1-page minimum length\nMaximum submissions of 3 artworks per person\nNo use of AI Generated Art is allowed and plagiarism of existing work is clearly prohibited.\n\nEligibility \nOpen to cartoonists\, comics creators\, artists and art collectives in Southeast Asia  \nCopyright \nCopyright of all the content submitted for this competition remains with the respective entrants\, with the organizers having the licence to use the content for their activities and social media. \nPrizes \nFor each of the two categories (cartoons and comics or storyboards) the following prizes will be awarded\, summing up to a total of six awards: \nComics (Storyboards)          Cartoons \n1st Prize: USD 450                 1st Price: USD 325         \n2nd Price: USD 350                2nd Prize: USD 225 \n3rd Price: USD 250                 3rd Price: USD 125 \n  \nSelected artworks will be exhibited in a curated exhibition at the Bangkok Arts and Culture Center (BACC) in Bangkok in later 2024 and published on our website and across our social media platforms. \nEvaluation Criteria \nEntries will be judged based on the following criteria: \n\nRelevance to the theme\nInnovativeness\nCreativity\nAnalytical clarity\nAesthetic value\n\nSubmission: \nInitial deadline for submission\, 15 June 2024\, was extended.
