The List of Winners of The First International Car Cartoon Contest  2009

When you don’t have a car you have one problem, but when you have a car you have hundred and one problems!

Perhaps we have heard this sentence many times, but really if the first men know that the invention of wheel causes so much problems in future, would he do it or not?!

It’s a question we asked many times from ourselves, but on the other hand we can’t ignore the comfort that car brought to us. What’s the remedy?

Saipa Company for finding a suitable answer to this question and improving the mood of its personnel, by cooperation of Iran House of Cartoon held the “First International car Cartoon Contest “by the subject of “car” in two sections of “Car” and “Futur Car”.
