SATYRYKON is an open competition for illustrators, graphic artists, painters, sculptors, poster designers and photographers, organised by Legnica Cultural Centre together with the Satyrykon Cultural and Social Foundation. Its initiators in 1977 were the lawyer Andrzej Tomiałojć and the Wrocław businessman Robert Szecówka. Initially, Satyrykon was a local event – a small exhibition of drawings of the Wroclaw community, but in 1978 Satyrykon became a nationwide competition exhibiting satirical drawings. Legnica was the first and for many years the only meeting place of Polish satirical artists, while Satyrykon successfully contributed to the popularisation of satirical drawings in Poland. Over the years, Satyrykon enriched its program and broadened the formula. In 1980, the International Photojgraphic competition Fotożart (Photojoke) was organised for the first time, and the works submitted for the satirical drawing competition were evaluated in two categories: satire and joke. Both exhibitions were jointly awarded the Satyrykon Grand Prix. In 1985, the National Satirical Drawing Exhibition officially became an international competition. At that time, close contacts with many artists, art critics and festival organizers from abroad were established. Every year thousands of works by hundreds of authors from dozens of countries are submitted to the competition.
