KEY POINTS:
Fighting their battle with pencils, not pistols, more than 100 environmentally minded cartoonists have lent their skills to raising climate-change awareness.
The cartoons were drawn for the biennial Ken Sprague International Cartoon Competition Earthworks 2008.
From polar bears shaving off their own pelts, to Father Christmas riding a camel, the cartoons were united in drawing attention to the need to act against climate change.
The cartoonists' imaginations encompassed wicked humour, biting satire and also a fatalistic bitterness.
Russian Mikhail Zlatkovsky took out the supreme award, showing humanity in the form of a man indecently exposing himself to a pristine universe.
Romanian cartoonist Constantin Ciosu was second, with his image of butterflies chasing a man holding a single flower down an otherwise sparse industrial-lined lane.
Tawan Chuntraskawvong was third with a brutal take on the human impacts of deforestation.
