Create GIF stickers for SHAZAM!
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out!
In Billy Batson’s case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero SHAZAM!, courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart, SHAZAM! revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his Social Studies test? SHAZAM! sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.
To amplify the launch of SHAZAM!, animators from around the world are invited to create an animated GIF sticker pack to be used to promote the film's release!
Artists should create a minimum of two animated stickers of SHAZAM! Artists should show their unique style and how they can bring these characters to life as cool, shareable animated GIF stickers! Based on the submitted stickers, Warner Bros. Pictures will select one overall artist to create the final GIF sticker pack. For more details on the exact requirements, check out the 'The GIF Sticker Pack' section below. Also, feel free to check out the submissions from GIF Sticker campaign for inspiration.
One overall Selected Artist will be chosen by Warner Bros. Pictures and receive $7,500 to complete the full ten sticker pack which will be used on the film's social channels. Five additional Finalists will also be selected and potentially have their work featured across the film's marketing campaign and awarded with $500 each.
