Welcome to the international exhibition "We are electing"!


The election is not only a formal democratic procedure, it is also a great chance to explore the
human nature.
Here, at the polling station, you have a chance to watch the clash of amazing characters, to
observe the cowardice and desperate insolence on one side and the civic courage of the other.

In other words, the election is the perfect reason for artists-satirists to roll up their sleeves
and take up a pencil or a computer mouse.

The works of the contestants were judged by the International Jury consisted of
Vasily Alexandrov (Russia), Boris Erenburg (Israel), Valentin Georgiev (Bulgaria),
Vladimir Kazanevsky (Ukraine), Yury Manaev (Russia), Michael Zlatkovsky (Russia).

On March 7th the International Jury has announced the results of the contest.

Thanks to the cartoon lovers from around the world
the Third International Contest was a success!
144 artists from 42 countries sent more than 500 works.

The exhibition was opened in Saharov's Museum in Moscow on March 5-th.
