International Cartoon Сontest «Fair Play» in Odessa - Ukraine

International Cartoon Сontest «Fair Play»
Worldwide Club of Odessites, Odessa Cartoonists’ Association and «Vikna-Odessa» Informational Agency announce about The «Fair Play» International Cartoon Contest.
The contest is announced for the decision of the European football officials revoked Odessa right to receive matches of EURO 2012.
The verdict brought to Odessa is unexpected, unfair, opaque, and motiveless. It clashes cardinally both with conditions precedent for candidate cities selection and with conclusions and recommendations by UEFA experts, and also violates one of fundamental concept principles of fair play, i. e. equal chances — all of sportsmen starting the competitions could equally claim on victory.
UEFA by its decision left Odessa without EURO 2012, and EURO 2012 — left without Odessa, and entire world is at a loss... (that’s not less sad).
