Create artwork inspired by Venom
SELECTED ARTIST ANNOUNCEMENT
Venom called and you all answered! When we started this art activation, we knew that there were those out there who loved our complex and badass character as much as we do, but we never could have anticipated the number of fantastic pieces of creative that would be submitted. As the weeks went on, not only did we find ourselves with too many amazing submissions to choose from, but our very own Eddie Brock/Venom, played by Tom Hardy, fell in love with the submissions and started to promote them himself. As we came to the final days of the submission window, Tom wanted to express his love and appreciation for the fans of Venom by choosing 5 of the selected works. We look forward to announcing those to the world!
As you all know, the world has enough superheroes…now it’s time for some Venom!
Thank you again!
The #Venom Team

To amplify the launch of the film, Columbia TriStar Marketing Group, Inc. is creating an art activation campaign leading up to this film’s release, and they want to collaborate with you!
Artists, designers and illustrators from around the world are invited to create one-of-a-kind static artwork for Venom inspired by the latest trailer. Venom faces off against Riot and we’d like you to summon your inner anti-hero and unleash your imagination to show us the best battle scene you can capture.
Whether it's an illustration, a digital painting or an alternative poster design, the judges are looking for captivating and imaginative static artwork to help drive promotion and excitement socially across the film's marketing and digital channels. Artists are encouraged to check out the trailer and Venom's social channels. Artists may also use the approved imagery assets and motion posters (horizontal / vertical) for inspiration.
Artwork will potentially be featured across the film's marketing campaign, including social accounts, print materials and merchandise. Five (5) pieces of art will be selected by Columbia TriStar Marketing Group, Inc. The Selected Artists will receive $2,000 for each piece selected.
