This event invites artists to address various aspects of this phenomenon through the humorous and visual language of cartoon art — from the influence of money on personal and social relationships to the challenges of the banking system and capital security, from the diversity of investment paths and the fluctuations of financial and crypto markets to the role of investment in economic growth and export development.
The main goal of this contest is to portray the multifaceted nature of the concept of capital in today’s world, where the artist’s vision can serve as a bridge between awareness, critique, and inspiration toward building a more conscious future.
