29th EUROPEAN FILM FESTIVAL IN LEBANON POSTER CONTEST
CALL GUIDELINES
INTRODUCTION
The European Film Festival in Lebanon, organized by the European Delegation in Lebanon and the Member States of the European Union, in partnership with the Metropolis Association, is launching a public call targeting artists, graphic designers, illustrators, poster designers and photographers to create the poster of the 29th European Film Festival.
The winning visual design will be used as the Official Poster of the festival, and will be featured on all of the festival’s promotional materials.
The winning artist will receive a prize of USD 1,000.
ABOUT THE EUROPEAN FILM FESTIVAL
The European Film Festival, now in its 29th edition, has become one of the most awaited events for the cinema-going audience in Lebanon, and has played a pivotal role in providing access for the public to preview the latest European film productions, which rarely have any other chance of screening in a regular commercial cinema hall. The festival for example has traditionally been a platform to present films from European countries not represented in the actual cinema circuit, and to show on the big screen restored masterpieces of European cinema, subsequently inspiring upcoming Lebanese talents.
In recent years the festival annually has attracted at least 13,000 people.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
The competition is open to individual artists, graphic designers, illustrators, poster designers and photographers interested in film, and residing in Lebanon. Each participant can submit only one (1) creative poster proposal.
All proposals must be submitted electronically by midnight, March 9, 2025 with a brief narrative description (maximum half a page).
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION
