The Türler Cartoon Competition took place annually from 1993 until 2003, after the Türler showrooms had been inaugurated in the heart of Berlin on Friday, December 3, 1993. Vying for Euro 6,000 in prize money, students enrolled at the Universities of Berlin and Brandenburg and at other institutions of higher learning were invited once a year to observe the evolution of their city and document their findings with a satirical twist. A competent jury staffed by artists and professors of both universities, joined by Dr. Werner Baumann, the Swiss Ambassador in Berlin, as well as Franz Türler, took on the sophisticated task of evaluating and ranking the ever larger number of entries submitted each year.
