Description

The Chicago International Film Festival’s poster design competition ran from July 9 – Aug 14, 2015. Entry into the competition was free and open to the public. Participating artists were asked to interpret and convey the theme “…because everybody loves movies” into their submission.

“We were overwhelmed by the impressive quality of each poster submitted to our worldwide design competition,” said Michael Kutza, the founder and Artistic Director of the Chicago International Film Festival. The 51st Chicago International Film Festival’s international poster design competition received 275 submissions from 41 countries including South Africa, India, Algeria, Bosnia, Chile, Russia, Vietnam, Ukraine, and Ecuador. Each submission was evaluated and six finalists were selected based on their interpretation of the theme, personal style, typeface and general aesthetics.
