DESCRIPTION

Media Arts Center San Diego’s 29th Annual San Diego Latino Film Festival (March 10-20, 2022) Poster Competition is now open for submissions. Submit an iconic design that captures the essence of our annual celebration of Latinx film, music, and art. The winning artwork will become the “face” of the festival, appearing in print, web, and on-screen materials.

Your design must address the following prompt: the pandemic has changed the way the festival screens films. For 26 years, we screened films at movie theaters. COVID-19 forced us to switch to virtual platforms for the screenings of our 27th and 28th editions. However, our 29th edition in 2022 will be a return to in-person screenings. We are looking for a winning design that celebrates and highlights the act of watching films in a cinema or as a communal activity. We want you to recreate the magic of going to the movies!
