Regulations of the 4th International Graphic Humor Exhibition of Pernambuco (SIHG-PE)

1. THEME

To use laughter as a magnifying glass-allowing problems and solutions to be seen more clearly-we are opening registrations for the 4th edition of the International Graphic Humor Exhibition of Pernambuco (SIHG-PE), under the theme "Planet for All."

The goal is to engage graphic artists from around the world and provide a platform to make a difference, offering a fresh perspective on environmental issues and turning humor into a tool for social mobilization. After all, laughter is a powerful catalyst for critical thinking, and art often shines a bright light on both local and global issues that are frequently overlooked in daily life.

As a tribute to individuals who have made recognized contributions to making Earth a true Planet for All, the caricature category will feature the sub-theme "Environmentalists." The aim is to highlight historical and contemporary figures who have fought for environmental preservation and sustainable development worldwide-such as Greta Thunberg, Chico Mendes, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jane Fonda, Ailton Krenak, Jacques Cousteau, Marina Silva, Gisele Bündchen, Marcos Palmeira, Angelina. Jolie, Emma Watson, Isabel Fillardis, Bono Vox, Nakabuye Hilda Flavia, Nemonte Nenquimo, Julia Carabias Lillo, Nzambi Matee, Xiaoyuan Ren, among many others.

2. ABOUT THE SIHG-PE

Through a contest of cartoons, caricatures, and comics, the SIHG-PE aims to promote reflection on the Planet, its diversity, and the current environmental crisis. Topics such as air, water, and soil pollution will be central. Artworks may address both the direct and indirect consequences of pollution-including effects on wildlife, human health, and the degradation of the planet's natural beauty.

Another prominent topic is food quality and the environmental impact of food production. Artists are encouraged to create works that challenge the sustainability of our food systems, exploring issues such as excessive pesticide use, deforestation for cattle farming, and the exploitation of rural workers. Global warming, resource waste, sustainable urban mobility, and the need for clean, renewable energy may also be explored. Addressing these issues through humor helps make them more accessible and sparks transformation.
