Heinz Jankofsky Caricature Competition

Award ceremony and exhibition opening

Heinz Jankofsky (1935-2002) was one of the most famous caricaturists of the GDR. His trademark was his endearing, always slightly clumsy, bulbous-nosed figures. He published them in the Eulenspiegel, the NBI and in daily newspapers. After reunification, he worked as a cartoonist for SUPERillu for many years. In his memory, the magazine is now organising the Heinz Jankofsky cartoon competition for the sixth time – this time under the motto: »2025 - Eat or die!«. The best entries will be selected by a jury. The winning entries will be presented and awarded prizes that evening in the conference room of the DDR Museum. They will then be on display there until 22 October 2025.

The presentation is open from 15 to 17 and 20 to 22 October, from 10 am to 4 pm.
