The International Cartoon Competition on Community of Common Destiny for All is co-hosted by China Daily and the China Journalistic Caricature Society, and organized by China Daily Website (aolaikelin.cn) and News Cartoon Website (www.newscartoon.com.cn).

The theme of the competition is "the community of common destiny for all". The community of common destiny is a concept proposed by President Xi Jinping, emphasizing that a country should take into consideration other countries' concerns while seeking its own interests and should promote the common development of all. This is because there is only one earth and one world for mankind, and hence we should promote awareness of the community of common destiny for all.

The concept also stems from the idea that we are all descended from the same common ancestors. Although countries have different or even contradictory national interests, religious beliefs, ideologies and social systems, we all live in and share the same world and should try our best to coexist peacefully. In the face of crisis, we should choose cooperation over confrontation and common interest over conflicts, for a better future for humanity.

The organizing committee of the competition received more than 2,000 cartoons from more than 20 countries, including China, the United States, India, Denmark, Turkey, Bulgaria and Cote d'Ivoire.

The judges selected one First Prize winner, two Second Prize winners, three Third Prize winners and 80 Runner Up Prize winners.
