SPECIAL PRIZE “PORT WINE”
Rules and specification
Introduction
It was 250 years ago, in spite of its early existence, that “Vinho do Porto” (Port Wine) had conquered the recognition as an international trade mark, becoming a special “ambassador” of Portugal. It is one of the oldest marks of the world.
In 1756, the Portuguese Minister, Marquês de Pombal, established as demarcated region of Port Wine the so called “Alto Douro”, which turned this wine to be the first in the world to be demarcated and ruled.
Since then the Port Wine had become essential al over the world when celebrating special moments. Several writers and members of governments had exalted its special qualities.
The well known association of good wine to humour and the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the royal decision justify this Port Wine Special Award under the scope of the 8th PORTOCARTOON.
The rules of this Special Prize are similar to the PortoCartoon rules, as follows:
1-Each artist/journalist can send an unlimited number of works concerning the theme, but only five at the maximum will be considered.
