Ten selected posters will go on display at the BFI during the festival (Tuesday 8 to Sunday 13 April). The ten posters selected for the exhibition will also be displayed on an online gallery on the Birds Eye View website.

Designs can be a graphic re-interpretation of a film still, an illustration, or a montage.

Please note you can only apply as an individual designer/artists. Group, or partnership, entries will not be considered.

The 10 winning poster designers will also be invited to join a session called Looking After Your Assets, as part of the exclusive Creative Skillset-funded Filmonomics programme.  The session will take place on Sunday 13 April 2014 at the BFI and will look at the art of poster design, and how to create the right leading image for the effective marketing of a film. The session will host filmmaking teams on the Filmonomics programme, and will be a great opportunity to meet and network with industry experts and practitioners.

Apply by Friday 7 March.
