#AddamsFamilyArt
Create Family Portraits for The Addams Family
Get ready to snap your fingers! The Addams Family is back on the big screen in the first animated comedy about the kookiest family on the block. Funny, outlandish, and completely iconic, the Addams Family redefines what it means to be a good neighbor.
To amplify the launch of the film, United Artists Releasing 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 family portrait artwork for The Addams Family inspired by the latest trailer. To qualify, all character art should be in the style of the assets provided. Artists are encouraged to capture typically mundane moments (Halloween, road trip, summer vacation, Family dinner, game night, etc.), adding an Addams Family twist.
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 The Addams Family's social channels. Artists may also use approved imagery assets for inspiration.
Artwork will potentially be featured across the film's marketing campaign, including social accounts, and print materials. Five (5) pieces of art will be selected by United Artists Releasing. The Selected Artists will receive $2,000 for each piece selected.
things to consider
- The Addams Family is a movie targeted towards younger audiences. Thus, please consider what would be appropriate for such audiences to view. For instance, creepy and dark Halloween-like depictions are good, while images that involve blood, death, torture or violence are not.
- Artists are encouraged to create original one of a kind art, inspired and based on this iteration of the Addams Family and provided assets.
- Artists are encouraged to check The Addams Family official social accounts for inspiration.
- Artists should watch the trailer.
- The work should only include the Addams Family main characters.
- “Thing” (hand character) is a left hand.
character integrity
The Addams Family characters sometimes engage in macabre and anti-social behavior. Remember that this is a family film, and any depictions must be acceptable for viewing by all audiences. Please avoid any references to alcohol, drugs, tobacco products, illegal activities, illicit sexual acts, political speech, or anything insulting or racist.
the career opportunity
Five pieces of work, as chosen by United Artists Releasing, will be selected. The Selected Artists will:
- Potentially have their artwork featured in The Addams Family's marketing campaign
- Potentially receive exposure for their work across The Addams Family's digital and marketing channels including television, and print materials
- Receive $2,000 for each piece of artwork selected
