TEHRAN – Iranian cartoonists Majid Amini and Fakhreddin Doost-Mohammad have won special prizes at the 16th Solin International Comic Festival in Croatia.

“Historic towns” was the central theme of the festival led by cartoonist Marko Ivic.

Amini’s cartoon shows the Colosseum of Rome drawn in the form of a large watch, while Doost-Mohammad’s work depicts a carpet weaver pretending to accompany a musician by playing his unfinished carpet as an instrument.

The winners of the festival, organized in collaboration with the Solin Tourist Board, the Zvonimir Public Institution of Culture and the Solin Central Library, were announced last Thursday.

The first prize went to Klaus Pitter from Austria, while Israeli cartoonist Ilya Katz won the second prize.

Dubravka Bodulic from Croatia finished third and another special festival prize went to Marco De Angelis from Italy.

A selection of the best submissions to the Solin International Comic Festival is being presented at the Zvonimir Public Institution of Culture in an exhibition that will run until September 17.

Several workshops were also organized during the festival.

Iranian cartoonist Amini has presented his works in numerous Iranian and international exhibitions.

He has also been honored at some international cartoon festivals, most notably the We Defeat Coronavirus international cartoon competition in Iran, where he won the People’s Choice award.

It also won the third prize at the 22nd Aydin Dogan International Cartoon Competition 2005 in Ankara, Turkey.

Doost-Mohammad’s works have also been featured in exhibitions in South Korea, Belgium, China, Syria and several other countries, and have won awards at several international events.
