You have just one day to make that gorgeous poster for the KASHISH 2012 International Poster Competition is March 18thmidnight (Pacific time). We have received many interesting, exciting, sexy, snazzy poster designs… but we would be very keen to see yours, which perhaps is the best, afterall!
KASHISH 2012, the third edition of the India’s first and only mainstream queer film festival, will be held between May 23-27, 2012 in Mumbai at a city multiplex. We would like you to design the official poster for our film festival. “The theme for this year’s film festival is ‘For Everyone’, which means this year’s festival has something to offer for everyone – not just for the LGBT community, but also their families, colleagues and friends. The poster contest, which is open ‘to everyone’, across the world, reflects this spirit” says Sridhar Rangayan, Festival Director. And we have none other than Wendell Rodricks, one of India’s top fashion designers, to pick the winner of the contest. “I am delighted to be a judge on a contest that involves everyone to be a part of and contribute to a queer event. This I feel is the best way of breaking down barriers and reducing stigma. I am looking forward to seeing interesting designs from not only India, but from around the world,’’ said Wendell Rodricks. The winner of the poster contest will receive his/her award at the closing night of the film festival - a KASHISH trophy and a gift hamper. Besides winning a prestigious award as the festival’s official poster, its design will also be featured as hoardings, print and online advertisements, catalogue cover, banners, cinema slides and delegate cards.
