Little Wing Poster Competition 2018
For the first time, Little Wing are bringing graphic design into the festival mix.
We asked young artists to create the official Little Wing Film Festival poster for 2018 with designs they believed interpreted the ethos of Little Wing.
Through the opportunities that we aspire to create through our festivals, our mission is always to award our young artists with more than solely exposure for their work. This year, our friends at Affinity Serif, FontLab, and Iconfinder have helped us put together prize packages for our designers that we believe will be assets in developing their skills, upcoming projects, and future career growth.
Our graphic designers came from all walks, though comprised of mostly students, recent graduates, and young designers trying to turn their passion project into a career. We received over 110 submissions from all over the globe and, after weeks of difficult deliberation amongst our judging panel, the results are in.
Meet our Little Wing Poster Design Competition winner for 2018, and the new face of this year's film festival - keep an eye out!
