SALON OF HUMOUR BACAU 2023
the 6th edition
Rules of the International Cartoon Contest
1. The theme of the contest is George Bacovia' s image (17 September - 22 May 1957), a Romanian writer considered to be the most important Romanian symbolist poet. His original style, the distinct tone of his verses, characterized by the so-called Bacovian atmosphere, by an overwhelming desolation, the precise, sharp, sober, sometimes ironic language, placed Bacovia among the Symbolists, being considered one of the most important precursors of Modern Romanian poetry.
