One of the most important drawns of the Germany, Bernd Pohlenz who realized “toonpool.com” cartoon site and a special endeavored for be an international platform . The international cartoon competition with theme “Angela Merkel - Frank-Walter Steinmeier" has resulted with scandal which be created jointly toonpool.com and stern.de.
133 cartoons have published at stern.de for weeks that were selected from among hundreds of cartoons and was presented to votes of readers. But all users have entitled hundreds of votes, due to a technical error. The administrators of the system have declared at the first three, selected the cartoons with unfair votes, instead to resolve this technical error.
We condemn "stern.de" severely and call to cancel the announced results. We also call the award winners not to accept prizes for will not be spiritual gain.
Also, we call all drawns to protest "stern.de" against this preposterous result.
