Machinima Movie Poster Contest, where works of art will be showcased in a
special exhibit that celebrates the rich heritage and imagination of the movie
poster!

Any photographers, graphic artists, painters, or illustrators with a passion for
the movies and creative flair for the promotional can enter by creating works
that are posters for films submitted into the UWA MachinimUWA V Challenge. And
yes, artists who created videos that are submitted into the machinima contest
are also permitted to submit posters for their own films!

How to enter:
1. To see the film submissions to date, go to www.aviewtv.com, browse the
MachinimUWA V film gallery and choose from any of the submitted videos. Note
that this year’s film theme is “Seek Wisdom”. Posters may or may not have
anything to do with the theme, but posters should seek to promote the film in
question in a way that may encourage more viewers. So, watch the film! Think
about great poster ideas!
