Concurso Ilustração

ILLUSTRATION COMPETITION | CALL FOR ENTRIES
JITTER-magazine is calling for entries to international Illustration Competition BEASTS! IN MOVIES.

Beasts! What would man be without the creature? Whether admiration or contempt, emotion or horror, the ambivalent relationship between man and creature has been the source of countless stories of all cultures. Seeing himself as creation's crowning glory, man keeps his distance to nature only to use it as screen for all kinds of desires and fears. Over and over again this has been the reason for movies; whether they aim for a romantic view of a primordial lost world, used at the same time as a metaphor for the innocent of childhood or they aim for the darkest nightmares of an unnameable evil hidden in any unknown terrain -- even in our own basement. The fascination of the creature is a never ending source.

All professional illustrators and students of art programs are eligible to enter. Work must be dated after August 2007 and should have beasts who appeared in movies as a theme. These beasts can be real, fantastic, harmless or menacing. The manner of the beast’s demeanor, it’s appearance alone, in pairs or in masses, as well as the staging of the encounter between human and beast are interesting starting points.



DEADLINE extended to SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
