We’re marking this special year by setting out a competition for our cover. Not only will it be on the front page of our festival brochure, we’ll use it as the banner, on the website and in advertisements as well. The cover is what our audiences see each and every night of the festival before the movies are shown. It’s a real opportunity to get exposure of your creative genius since your name will be credited wherever possible for the design.
On top all this, the winner will get* $300.
*to be awarded at this years Opening Ceremonies
What’s the Competition All About?
At this point, we need the concept – just the concept, not final product. The final product will evolve in collaboration with the Festival Director who will call upon the EstDocs Festival Director Team for input.
The concept should include the roughed out visual image as well as consideration for the placement of the EstDocs logo and festival dates.
Check out our Gallery of Past Covers for some inspiration!
We’ll also need the winner to take the concept to the final, hi-res version, and to modify the cover design to fit the banner dimensions. Unless you provide us with the source files (your option), we’ll need your help resizing the image for advertising, posters, etc., during lead-up to the festival.
Please note that additionals (such as EstDocsTEN, website, address, dates, etc.) can be added but don’t need to be on the cover concept you submit.
EstDocs will have exclusive use of the final design.
