The inaugural Women on the World Cartoon Awards (WoW) is open to all women cartoonists worldwide over the age of 18 years. WoW is designed to offer women cartoon artists a unique opportunity to express themselves within the cartooning arena. Entries should convey a woman's social comment on world issues today.

WoW is aimed at promoting women and women's issues, cartooning generally and Australia's only cartoon gallery The Bunker Cartoon Gallery of Coffs Harbour.

Entrants into WoW agree to donate all works entered into the Rotary Cartoon Collection for exhibition at the Bunker Cartoon Gallery in Coffs Harbour or other galleries throughout Australia. Entrants agree to allow their works to be exhibited, copied, reproduced onto promotional items and offered for sale at the discretion of the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour City any time in the future.
