Deadline: November 3, 2017
The San Diego Latino Film Festival (SDLFF) turns 25! They invite design professionals, artists and students from all over the world to produce a commemorative poster design that will represent the history and legacy of the SDLFF. SDLFF was born out of a desire to take a stand against the status-quo of cinema, to challenge the reigning and ever-present stereotypes about the Latino experience in movies, and to give Latino filmmakers the power of telling and sharing their stories, first-hand, about what it means to be Latino.
They invite you and all other visionary designers to be a part of their silver anniversary — 25 and still going strong! — by submitting your project for consideration. The commemorative poster design shall celebrate SDLFF’s core values and their passion for Latino culture.
