Tax dodging costs lives. It robs poor countries of the taxes they're owed - money that should be spent on basic services like building schools and hospitals.
The Christian Aid Tax Cartoon competition is an exciting opportunity for seasoned and budding artists, cartoonists and illustrators to use their art to raise awareness about the impact of tax dodging on poor nations.
Enter our competition and you could win an original illustration by renowned Irish Times cartoonist Martyn Turner.
