Cartoon competition


Could you have done a better Prescott croquet cartoon than Steve Bell? Are you the Martin Rowson of your generation?

Now is the time to find out because the Guardian is holding a unique competition to find the best young cartoonist and give them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to display their talents in the actual paper.

If you have a distinctive style, an intelligent take on current affairs and - most importantly - are very funny, it could be you.

Here's what you have to do. Send us three drawings relating to current news events, with cuttings or printouts of the relevant stories attached.

The winner will not only receive £1,000 but the opportunity of a six-week commission to produce the main current affairs cartoon in the Saturday Guardian.

The closing date is August 31 and entrants must be under 30 on January 1 2007.

Entries will be judged by a panel including Steve Bell and Posy Simmonds.

You can post your efforts below - but if you actually want them judged you MUST send your entries to:

Young Cartoonist Competition, 119 Farringdon Road, London EC1R 3ER

Good luck.
