My most important prizes:
1- First prize of Anglet ( France) caricature prize in 1991 that I participated there for the first time and I won the first cash prize and the Chevalier of cartoon title and was invited France for one week stay. Could be anything better than this?
2-Silver date prize of Bordigehra( Italy) cartoon festival in 1996 that was a very prestigous prize. Despite that I travelled Italy to receive my prize in person, due to financial problems of the organizers, I could not succeed to get my prize there , but it was recorded in my resume.
3- First prize of Ankara cartoon festival with the theme of "child" that I won the only cash prize of this festival,($ 2000) plus a week stay in Ankara. I enjoyed a lot , cause I sent there a cartoon opposite to the common and regular works at the festival. I did not draw a funny, comic and laughable cartoon to make the children laugh artificially,I drew a bitter cartoon about a divorce child to warn the families to avoid the divorce if they can, and also to feel sympathy with the divorce children.
4- UN cartoons citation prize in 2011 and 2017 by Un association of journalists.
5-Aydin Dogan first prize with the partnership of Turkish cartoonist Dogan Arslan in 2012, however we first thought the sum of the cash prize will be divided between 2 of us, but Aydin dogan foundation decided to pay two separate 8000 dollars for each winner cartoonists in a generous attitude..
