The Brief: Worcester Film Festival x Artists Clubhouse film themed art trail is back, and this year, we want to see your movie mashups!
‘Lights, Camera…Paint’ is an art competition, open to all artistic levels, to create a piece of artwork that is inspired by your favourite film/TV. This year we are introducing the theme ‘Movie Mashups’, so get creative and lets see which worlds collide, characters meet or stories intertwine!
All artwork should be designed square and once selected will be placed in to a movie poster style template, created by Artists Clubhouse and Worcester Film Festival.
20 selected entrants will be chosen to have their artwork displayed in shop windows across the city centre of Worcester in the month run up and during the Film Festival (25th-28th September), along with 5 posters created by local charities/organisations and/or artists that practise with sustainable materials. If you are an artist who works with sustainable materials please let us know in your application.
3 Artists will be shortlisted and receive full access passes to the Film Festival (excluding the Gala) alongside other great prizes (to be announced)! A winner will then be selected from the 3 to be presented with a certificate and prize at the launch event.
All selected work will also be exhibited at the launch event for the festival giving all parties including local organisations, funders and the press a chance to get an up close look.
The winners will be chosen by members of the Worcester Film Festival committee along side Artists Clubhouse after the closing date. All chosen artwork will get featured on Artists Clubhouse social media pages and website.
You can find out more about the film festival at www.worcesterfilmfestival.co.uk
Eligibility: Priority will be given to Worcestershire artists but we welcome artists from other parts of the UK to apply.

Submission Info:
Submissions need to be in digital format.
Please do not add a border or any text on to the image as the art work will be set in to a poster format created by us.
If your artwork is not digital originally then it will need to be scanned or photographed at a high resolution setting such as 600 dpi or above.
Please send via WeTransfer or a similar application to avoid the image resolution being effected.
The submission form will ask you for:
- Your name.
- If your artwork is created sustainably/using sustainable (environmentally friendly) products or processes.
- The title of your piece (Be creative! This should be an original title you have given to your art, not the actual film/s title)

- Social media handles (if possible).
- Website link (if possible).
Find the submission form HERE
All ages are welcome to submit for this competition but please be aware that not all events or films shown at the festival will be appropriate for children.
Artwork Info For Entry:
Artwork must be inspired by your chosen films/TV shows and incorporate some kind of mashup (by mashup we mean the use of one or more films or tv shows mixed together to create an original art piece).
The artwork submitted must be two dimensional but can be created in any medium.
The final art piece that you submit does not need to look like the original film, it can be a mix of art styles, a surreal take or even inspired by a feel or location. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
Your artwork needs to be a SQUARE design.
We want to be able to show all artwork selected so make sure the final piece is PG friendly as it will be seen by people of all ages, the film/TV shows that inspire your work however, do not need to be PG.
