CARICUP 2010 Trinal Results

It has been a tough competition but the “trinal” ended with a pretty clear final score of 224-30-187. Here are the winners of the 2010 toonpool.com CARICUP.


The bronze medal goes to CakBoy from Indonesia and his caricature of England’s Wayne Rooney. CakBoy’s Rooney is smiling, he is stocky, and he definitely deserves this medal.

While the actual Wayne Rooney couldn’t do much to prevent his team from going home after their defeat against Germany, his caricature counterpart made it all the way to the end. The Indonesian “team” won against Croatia, Jordan, and Switzerland – and none of them was exactly easy competition.


The silver medal goes to Geomateo, who lives in Romania but because of his Oceanian heritage preferred to run for New Zealand.

His caricature of Portugal’s heart-throb Cristiano Ronaldo has meanwhile gained new importance since real-life Ronaldo announced the birth of his son on July 3rd. Instead of running from him, however, he requested full custody for the boy. New Zealand defeated cartoons from Bulgaria, Brazil and Italy on its path to the trinal. Once again, that’s much better than New Zealand’s soccer team did.


The winner of toonpool.com’s 2010 CARICUP is Hungary with a caricature of legendary player Ferenc Puskás by T-Boy.

Hungary has not taken part in a soccer world cup since 1986 in Mexico, and they haven’t reached the final round since 1954 – back when Puskás was still playing. T-Boy and his semi-realistic caricature, on the other hand, were triumphant against skillful opponents from Germany, Guatemala, and Austria. Congratulations!

    Dear Toonpool Team, my name is T-BOY, the winner of the 2010 Caricup with the Ferenc Puskás cartoon. Firstly i would like to say thank You for the congratulations! I have a question what i would like to ask: will i get a real medal for this victory? Or all i receive for this win is a virtual gold medal? Or by any chance will i get a diploma for winning this competition, which would certify that there was a competition on Toonpool. As i would put it onto my wall, that would be great! Is it gonna be published in the german newspapers? For example: Stern? If yes, i am asking You to send me an issue! Thanks a lot in advance!! Looking forward to Your reply, Yours faithfully: T-BOY

    Dear T-Boy,
    As we mentioned in the first announcement to this competition, the prizes are indeed only virtual. So the bad news is: no, there won’t be any real medal, diploma, newspaper announcment, etc. BUT this blog entry is not the actual medal. We are working on a page on toonpool.com where competition winners will be on display permanently. A first version should be online in the next few days. Sorry for the delay.
    Later this year we are planning to introduce a system of honor badges, trophies etc. and a virtual trophy case. Of course the Caricup will be part of this.
