40th Chicago Latino Film Festival Poster Contest

40th Chicago Latino Film Festival Poster Contest now is over!

40th Chicago Latino Film Festival Poster Contest: The 40th Chicago Latino Film Festival Poster Contest has been recently announced by International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago accepting entries from all artist either individuals, collaborative teams or design firms worldwide.

Short description

The Chicago Latino Film Festival celebrates its 40th Anniversary next year! For four decades, the Festival has introduced to Chicago audiences the most representative and diverse selection of films from throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, Portugal and the United States. The Chicago Latino Film Festival is the oldest festival of its kind in the United States.

Every year, the International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago selects the winning poster for the annual Chicago Latino Film Festival. The selected poster becomes the face of the Festival, as it will be on the official trailer, program book, invitations, electronic ads, t-shirts, and more.

The Chicago Latino Film Festival celebrates the richness and ingenuity of filmmakers from across the Latino diaspora (including Spain and Portugal).

As such the image should be representative of how moving images are produced these days (digitally or on mobile) and how they are consumed (big, small and medium-sized screens, on the theater or at home, a blanket on a wall, on a public plaza somewhere in Latin America or Spain). It should celebrate the efforts and sacrifices made by these filmmakers to tell their stories. Some of the best posters have focused on the impact cinema has and still has a social tool, as well.

Entries that allude to other aspects of the culture (dance, theater, etc.) or include such stereotypical illustrations as sombreros, tacos, cactuses, bullfights, etc. will not be considered.

Organiser encourages you to be imaginative and curious and even watch a couple of Iberoamerican films as you come up with ideas.

Design must be easily translated to a variety of mediums. Only digital submissions will be accepted.

Who may enter?

The contest is open to artists from around the world.
