Niels Bugge Cartoon Award

Last month, 487 artists from 72 countries submitted 1,063 drawings to compete for the Niels Bugge Cartoon Award, an international competition aimed at drawing attention to environmental issues. This year’s theme, “the oceans are in our hands,” focused on climate change. Below are the ones that arguably used a map theme (or at least a globe theme) theme. You can view the rest of the jury selections, and the winners, here.
