#PacificRimUprising
Create artwork for Pacific Rim Uprising
The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.
John Boyega (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot who has since been caught up in a criminal underworld. But when a massive threat is unleashed on the world, he’s given the chance to live up to his potential with the help of an unlikely group of heroes. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction.
To celebrate the release of the film, artists, designers and illustrators from around the world are invited to join the uprising by creating one-of-a-kind static artwork for Pacific Rim Uprising.
Artists should watch the trailer below and check out the film’s Facebook and Instagram pages. Feel free to take inspiration from the characters, the plot, the location, and anything else you feel represents this film! Artists may submit static artwork (posters, paintings, illustrations, etc.) for this opportunity. Please no photography or video.
Up to five pieces of art will be selected by Universal Pictures and Legendary Entertainment. The Selected Artists will receive $2,000 for each piece chosen and potentially have their work used in the Pacific Rim Uprising marketing campaign.
