Tjeerd Royaards Wins European Cartoon Award 2025
Skip to commentsAmsterdam cartoonist Tjeerd Royaards claimed this year’s European Cartoon Award last night at the annual European Cartoon Award ceremony held in The Hague. His cartoon focused on the death and destruction of Palestine by Israel and the fecklessness of the United Nations.

Emanuele Del Rosso, Head of the European Cartoon Award had this to say about Tjeerd’s cartoon:
This year’s winning cartoon is a striking metaphor of the recklessness violence, and of the impunity, of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his crusade against Palestinians. Royaard’s cartoon is hard to look at, but we must look, as we must not cover our eyes and ears when faced with this violence.
The European Cartoon Award organization also awarded an Honorable Mention to Patrick Chappatte for a cartoon published in the Swiss newspaper Le Temps.
Runners up for the top prize included Emad Hajjaj and Zehra Ömeroğlu respectively.
