Marostica, 29 April 2020
The jury of the forty-ninth edition of Humorists in Marostica awarded the International Chess Grand Prix 2020 to Fabio Magnasciutti (Italy), the Special Prize >“Marco Sartore” to Romina Carrara (Argentina), the Sandro Carlesso” Special Award to Julio Angel Carrion Cueva (Peru).
Their interpretation of "Kindness", the theme of the prestigious edition, convinced the jury chaired by Sunnber Constantin, who also awarded the International Humorists Award to Marostica with equal merit. Tiziano Gianesini (Italy), Michele Barbon (Italy), Heibat Ahmadi (Iran), Davide Weber (Italy), Marco Spadari (Italy), Flavio Masi and Antonello Mengato (Italy), Toso Borkovic (Serbia), Marlene Pohle (Argentina) , Maria Assunta Toti Buratti (Italy) and Davide Conti (Italy).
The jury's verdict comes after a long selection of 445 authors from 59 countries: a particularly generous edition that marks a milestone for the Marostice Graphic Group, promoter of the historic international humorous graphics competition.
The organization is now working on setting up the exhibition of the 49th edition of Umoristica a Marostica at Castello Inferiore, in addition to the works of the winners, will host a selection of the many works received.
Due to the continuation of the Coronavirus emergency, it was not possible to set up the traditional exhibition at the Lower Castle with the works of the winners and the 100 selected works. The exhibition, organized by the Marostica Graphic Group in collaboration with the City of Marostica, has only been postponed. In fact, an innovative virtual tour will soon be created which will allow you to visit the ancient rooms of the Castle inhabited by these contemporary works even from afar. The "Humourists in Marostica 2020" exhibition will also boast the works of Constantin Sunnerberg, a refined illustrator of Russian origin but Belgian by adoption, who chaired the jury of this edition as an Author's Exhibition.
“Over a hundred more designers representing a greater number of nations compared to 2018. This edition recorded a great success in participation, confirming the international level of the competition and the effectiveness of the language of humorous graphics to express feelings and ways to be very current” declares the Marostice Graphic Group “The theme of kindness was developed by the designers according to very different nuances, from the most ironic to the most poetic. We also thank the jurors for their excellent work and the Banca Popolare di Marostica – Volksbank Foundation for their renewed support”.
