Around 40 cartoons were uploaded within the 70 hours, mostly new artworks in very different styles, mostly caricatures or portraits, but also funny cartoons and collages.
Juror Günther Emig, director of the Kleist Archives Sembdner in Heilbronn was very busy searching for his favorites and appreciated how many artists tried to “visualize” this one man, Heinrich von Kleist, the one who occupies Mr. Emig for years.

He couldn’t decide for 3 Kleist cartoons, so here are 6 picks with his comments (in random order):

"One of my favorites. Big eyes, the hair combed into the face, historical outfit. And a distinct style – even if I didn't recognize Heinrich at once."

"Very nice artwork. Unfortunately in those times, mail coaches were convertibles, and when they went uphill, you had to leave the coach or even push it. Heinrich would have liked it this way."

"One of my favorite illustrations, even if maybe arisen from a 1900's youth book. Yes, superb!"

"I like it. Heinrich with a folder under his arm – no, it's a book – on his way to school. Brave guy."

"Lovely. I'd like to hug him."

"Wow! Well, it is an advantage if one worked on a Kleist before. Totally great! Gratulations!"

Please check all submissions in this collection:

Eating Pizza & Pasta – the famous Italian Food

Pizza Quattro Stagioni or Tonno, Spaghetti Bolognese or Carbonara, Tiramisu, Olio di Oliva & Parmigiano – have you ever drawn scenes about enjoying Italian meals (archive)? Or are you inspired to join our contest with new funny ideas?

The agony of choice from a long menu card, handling spaghetti at a romantic candlelight date with a new lover (while listening kitschy Italian pop songs) or pizza as street food (while getting a call from your mobile) – we are looking for very witty and ironic (not disgusting!) scenes – cartoons as well as illustrations. What is a pizza? Has it geometric structures? Is is a science? A philosophy? A global vision of life? A religion?

We are planning an exhibition in case there are enough entries joining (and maybe a catalogue or book).
