Chicago Latino Film Festival Poster Competition 2024

The Chicago Latino Film Festival celebrates its 40th Anniversary in 2024! The Chicago Latino Film Festival is the longest-running Latino film festival in the United States. CLFF is a division of the International Latino Cultural Center in Chicago. The festival celebrates the motion picture arts depicting Latino culture, arts, and realities through film.

For four decades, the Festival has introduced to Chicago audiences the most representative and diverse selection of films from throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, Portugal, and the United States. The Chicago Latino Film Festival is the oldest festival of its kind in the United States. Every year, the festival invites artists from around the world to submit a poster concept in a competition. The winning design becomes the face of the Festival as it will be on the cover of newsprint programs, invitations, program books, electronic ads, t-shirts, Festival trailers, social media platforms, and more.

The poster image should reflect the Festival’s core mission of presenting and celebrating Iberoamerica’s diverse cultures. The number 40 should be incorporated into the design. It could also, in some way, reference our history. Participants are encouraged to look at past posters and even look at last year’s program for inspiration which can be found on the official website. Entries can explore the many ways films are being made today. Avoid referring to one country or a specific cultural artifact; the Festival represents a wide variety of countries and cultural traditions. The poster should reflect this multiplicity. Avoid overt stereotypes and symbology. The design should be in good taste. The contest is open to all artists. Entries will be accepted from individuals, collaborative teams, or design firms. Only digital copies will be accepted. Entries will be evaluated based on appeal, content, and marketability. Design must be easily translated into a variety of mediums. The winner will be announced on 23rd January 2024.
