September 13th, 2015, was the deadline to submit entries to the comic strip contest titled ‘Il Panettone in Tavola’ (Panettone is Served). After the recipes, photographs, ice cream and cake design, it was time for Panettone to take on a new untraditional form, that of Comics!

 

The purpose of the challenge was to convey through cartoon drawings (including balloons) the cartoonist’s personal vision of Panettone and its taste (e.g. as a symbol of civilization, the logo of a superhero, the key to a portal into a parallel world, etc.)

 

A total of 35 participants - 24 women and 11 men - entered their works of art. Representing 11 Italian regions, most participants hailed from Veneto, Lombardy and Lazio. There were also a few competitors from the islands of Sicily and Sardinia, as well as some from as far north as Trentino and Piedmont. The age of the participants ranged from 18 to 70 years old.

Judging the entries was a panel chaired by Claudio Villa, renowned cartoonist (Dylan Dog, Tex Willer, Captain America, etc.). Author Sofia Terzo and Alberto Baldisserotto, Art Director at Dalì Arts School, also judged the works.

Top-rated prizes will go to the winners of one of the most creative and untraditional contests that Loison has ever had the honor to organize.
