The
artist is Edik Boghosian Konaraki
(Iran); Winner of the first prize
in the 2006 International Ken
Sprague Political Cartoon Competition
Edik is from Iran and it was judged
an original and imaginative way
of presenting a well-worn subject,
using simple means in an effective
and graphic manner. Peace has
been ossified for generations,
but the small green olive branch
showed hope that it will endure.
