toonpool.com is looking for the most funny, witty and beautiful ‘CURRYWURST CARTOON’! You can also draw an illustration! Beautiful implies: positive – for the keen fans of this dish! Berlin may also play a role (but doesn’t have to).
Reason for our contest is the foundation of the “GERMAN CURRYWURST MUSEUM” which will be opened on August 28th, 2009 – and the 60th anniversary of the day when the currywurst was invented on September 4th, 1949 in Berlin. The museum is located near famous Checkpoint Charlie with thousands of tourists visting this area every day.
The GERMAN CURRYWURST MUSEUM promises its visitors exciting scenes and a glimpse of history – combined with information about recipes, ingredients and origin. The stage is set for the most diverse aspects of the popular Currywurst, of which around 800 million portions are consumed in Germany every year. As an urban snack with a cult following, the “curried fried sausage” has many friends and fans who have a word to say about it in the exhibition’s photo and audio documents.
Starting this summer, the GERMAN CURRYWURST MUSEUM will welcome locals and visitors to Berlin under the address Schützenstrasse 70. The multi-media monument to Germany’s traditional snack creation is located in direct proximity to Checkpoint Charlie. The representative exhibition covers an area of 1.100 square metres including catering and shop.
Best entries of our contest will be presented in the museum (and maybe on t-shirts or postcards).

Alternative recipe from David Baldinger‘s kitchen in Greensburg/USA, a typical American way of food pleasure! Many thanks David!!!
David: I’ve never had currywurst. It looks disgusting enough that I would probably like it. My favorite is to cook sausage in sauerkraut. I brown the sausage heavily so the sauerkraut will pick up the flavor. I like to cook it until the sauerkraut starts turning brown. Generally, I prefer to use Gundelsheim Barrel Sauerkraut and beer bratwurst. I don’t add anything else. God, I love Gundelsheim pickles! I have to stop thinking about all of this! I am starting to go crazy!

German based Toonpool.com had a contest about Currywurst which is a German speciality created originally in Berlin. It is so popular and common used fast food, Germans have even a museum for currywurst which is basically sausage,ketchup and curry. Toonpool announces today winners of the currywurst Cartoon Contest. All 3 cartoons which are awarded commonly have talking-balloons with German text, i.e have no meaning if you cannot German. Some few cartoonists I spoke find it naturally since this is a national dish, national language and national contest.
But the contest is announced for Toonpool artists which have mostly international backgrounds. I participate this contest too.
My motive was not to win some money, which could be nice, but mostly solidarity with Toonpool and I like currywurst too. But I was really surprised when I saw the result cartoons. There were a lot of cartoons which had delivered to the contest were indeed without the text, like mine.
My question is: If this was indeed a national contest, why ToonPool announced it for Toonpool artists which obviously many of them are non-German speaking artists. I react this because I assume this is one of ethic question in our business as well as chosen of jurors for International contests. I admit that this is a national dish, but could be a international approach by considering Cartoon art. Any way I find this experience strange, tasteless and non-international. People like me can feel nonsense or even stupid to participate this kind of national dish based contests. May be I am doing wrong by feeling as it is, but this is what I have in heart.
