It also carries out activities to build public opinion, to inform and raise the awareness of public.
CARICATURE is an artistic tool which depicts the existing social problems with a humorous and universal language of drawing, revealing the problem by clearly satirizing it even though it cannot offer a proposal for every problem.

This 24th Traditional Prize contest is the first international contest held by Umut Foundation.
