Opinion of Jury members:
The entries received for the above awards included caricatures and political cartoons. The jury decided to consider only cartoons.
Out of the entries, many had very good drawing but not equally matched by ideas. There was also an entry from Muhammad Zahoor from Peshawar, Pakistan for which the jury decided to give a special prize.

The final entries were chosen based on ideas, draughtmanship and humour.
