THE WINNERS:

FIRST PRIZESilvano Mello ( Brazil)
The drawing reinterprets in a creative and humorous way the Red Riding Hood fairy tale: the wolf, an elegant and in love, plays a nightmare with his grandmother. Love is really blind and it is heading towards unexpected and frightening goals. It surprises us and makes us smile, by surprise, that is the purpose of humor. Technically flawless in graphic mastery, in perfectly dosed colors and in the composition of the image. Altogether a very personal and high-quality work, both in form and content.

SECOND PRIZEBorislav Stankovic (Serbia)
The humorous effect expertly mixes two basic ingredients: the surreal dimension and the scratchy strangeness of humor noir. Her grave, next to her husband's, joins that of a past lover or someone found there.Love does not hold back, it does not respect rules and conventions, it is unpredictable and blind.It even involves the graves. The fine drawing remembers graphically, but also in content, some typical solutions of Quino’s speechless solutions.

THIRD PRIZE Marzia Grossi (Italy)
A very peculiar work that reverses the direct definition of blind love. The unarmed and disarmed Cupid, now unemployed, by countermeasure he sees no love, in fact in the window behind his shoulders the troubles of the world are permeated. The message is certainly humorous but bordering on satire. The digital technique, absolutely well executed, is definitely pop, with colors switched on and “screaming” almost to emphasize the contrast of the situation.
“MENTION RUPOLO HIM”The section “Mention Giancarlo Rupolo” (who was one of the major Italian photographers and one of the founders of the contest) is specifically aimed at Italian authors.

Marco De Angelis (Italy)
A drawing of fine humor but also of poetry. Very true: love is blind and for the two snowmen it will last forever. And if they dissolve, they will return to nature. Those characters win over our benevolence and complicity and above all make us smile. The mirable graphic synthesis and the studied symmetry tell more immediately a poetic comedy. It’s a work of an author of a worthy artistic level, it’s a distilled of humor.
