14th edition of the Tapirulan illustrator contest

14th edition at the start, it is already chaos …

For someone it represents the origin of all things, for others it is only the state in which they find their own desk; for someone it is a mathematical and physical theory that can understand only those who have an incredibly high IQ, for others it represents the emblem of the society in which we live. We are talking about the CAOS, or CHAOS if you prefer. But we are also talking about the theme of the 14th edition of the Tapirulan illustrator contest.

If at this moment your mind appears totally empty and you have any idea of what you could draw to participate in the competition, well … don’t worry, this is Chaos too, in a certain sense: that is a primordial state of emptiness, a (creative) darkness that precedes the realization of a magnificent illustration. The important thing, however, is that the darkness vanishes within October 20, 2018, that is the deadline of the competition. Given the theme we could also leave maximum freedom of delivery, but in the organization of Tapirulan perhaps it is better that the chaos still does not reign…

The jury – presided this year by Guillermo Mordillo – will decree the winner of the first prize of € 2,500. And always the jury will choose the 48 authors to exhibit in Cremona and Genoa, starting from 8 December 2018. Now we can only rely on your strong sense of disorder, and as Karl Kraus said: “Wellcome to chaos, for order didn’t work”.
