Black Cat Cinema: Film poster artwork competition
For BCC’s first Bounty, we’re putting out a call for visual artists to create alternative posters for classic films.
There are many, many beautiful, creative, and iconic film poster from through the ages. But they have all had one final purpose: Selling cinema tickets. In this competition we would like to free artists from the need to sell tickets, and let you focus on simply creating art. So, take the poster format and let your imagination run riot!
Guidelines
- Must include at least the film title and the name of the director in the image.
- Be in standard theatrical poster dimensions:27x40inches/686x1016mm.
- Can be in colour, monochrome, simple or complex. You decide!
- There’s no restriction on which films can be used, but choosing a very obscure film might make the poster difficult for many people to relate to.
- The original piece can be created digitally or manually. But the final submission needs to be digitized at 300dpi.
How it works
- Submit your art in this post with your NEAR name and a two-line intro to yourself and the poster. To help with page loading times, it might make sense to post a smaller version here in the post, and email the full-size version to info@theblackcatcinema.com
- After the deadline, we’ll close the bounty and decide on three winning entries.
- All three will be displayed on the Black Cat Cinema website, Instagram, and in a blog post. Posts will include an intro to the artist and links to your online channels.
- All three will be minted into NFTs. One of which will be donated to the Muti Collective Mintbase store, and the remaining two into the upcoming Black Cat Mintbase store.

All going well, we would love to make this the first in a series of film artwork competitions, and start exhibiting the artwork physically at the film events later in the year. If so, the submissions from this competition will be the first in the exhibition!
