Poster Competition
For the first time in 2018 we opened the doors of Little Wing to graphic design. We asked emerging designers to create the official poster for Little Wing Film Festival 2018, and take home some fantastic cash and prizes as our way of creating more rewarding opportunities for young artists.
We're very excited to be back again for 2019 with more amazing prizes, not only for our Top 3 designers, but for all eligible submissions!
If you're a student, within 2 years of your graduation date, or a new designer from a non-academic route within 2 years of beginning your career, you're eligible to enter! Entry is free and open worldwide.

The Brief
We want to see how you interpret the ethos of Little Wing. We're run by young people, for young people, looking to create more sustainable opportunities across the creative industries starting with an example we set ourselves. We work to make more opportunities accessible to all young people, facilitating career growth, and succeeding together. You can submit up to 3 designs should you wish, but please note that you're only eligible to receive ONE prize.
Fun fact: The name Little Wing was inspired by the song Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix - although birds are lovely too.
