Note :

The work of Luc Descheemaeker was elected as the winner despite similarities to his winning work at the Moroccon Cartoon Contest 2018, with the following considerations:

  1. From the viewpoint of a jury, Luc Descheemaeker is the best among other cartoonist works included in the category of the National Movement of The River Basin Restoration in this cartoon contest.
  2. In the rules set forth in International Cartoon & Carricature Contest Green Optimism Indonesia does not mention the work included in the contest must be the latest or have never won a similar cartoon contest anywhere.
  3. The work of Luc Descheemaeker which was included in this cartoon contest is not 100% the same as the one which won the Moroccan contest. There have been additions (sickle Grim Reaper) and hand, so the jury’s opinion is said to be a refinement of the previous work.
  4. In the view of the jury, works that are not allowed to enter the contest are plagiarism or plagiarism 100% of other cartoonist works.
  5. In this category, after a disagreement between the judges, a vote is taken. Juri Yere Agusto (Surabaya), Remy Sylado (Jakarta) and Jango Pramartha (Denpasar) have chosen to still win the work of Luc Descheemaeker (Belgium). Meanwhile, Yehana SR (Magelang) chooses to refuse.
