17th "OSCARfest" International Cartoon Exhibition/Croatia 2025

ONLY FOR ENTHUSIASTS!

EXHIBITION

OSOR Community Center, Town of Mali Lošinj, June - November 2025

PARTICIPATION

The exhibition is open to all artists, regardless of nationality, age, gender, profession...

TOPIC:

FAMOUS PERSONS on a DESERT ISLAND

(REAL and FICTITIOUS, CONTEMPORARY and HISTORICAL)

Various interesting things happen on a desert island. This year, all sorts of famous persons were invited to

the desert island of the Osor archipelago, to OSCARfest.

The criteria for famous persons has been mixed for a long time. Famous persons include media-exploited

persons from politics, from glamour, from subcultures, as well as those from the world of fairy tales and

myths, from cartoons and video games, from film and theater, from books.

Who is more famous is ultimately unimportant, because both real and fictitious realities influence our per-

ception of who is famous. Whether these famous persons will appear on the desert island alone or with happy

company, whether they will just pose with their faces, or whether they will perform what they are known for,

is up to you, dear cartoonists.

Meeting them will certainly be interesting...
