Design artwork for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
the brief
To celebrate the theatrical release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, artists from around the world are invited to design an eye-catching sewer access cover inspired by the newest installment of the franchise.
In order to attempt to save the city and people they love, the Turtles are forced to risk it all and emerge from underground, out into a world that doesn’t always accept them. Through art, we want to explore this concept of coming out of the shadows.
Please read the "Things to Consider" section below before starting your design. Artists must download the provided template when creating their artwork. Artists should also download the Artist Brief and Artist Toolkit to help aid in their submission.
Twenty Selected Finalists, as chosen by Paramount Pictures, will receive exposure for their work across Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and Talenthouse’s social media channels. From the twenty Selected Finalists, five Overall Selected Artists will be selected and receive $1,000 each. The remaining fifteen artists will receive $200 each.
All twenty pieces of selected artwork will be printed onto sewer access covers and will be featured at selected global events.

things to consider
- Artists should download the Artist Brief here, which provides Creative Invite details and guidelines, character descriptions and visual references.
- Artists should download the Artist Toolkit here, which contains downloadable character assets, colors, fonts, logo and lighting references to aid in the creation of their artwork.
- Artists should download the sewer access template provided here and create original artwork inspired by the film that fits the dimensions.
- Depicted characters should resemble their likenesses from the live-action films, not the animated series.
- Artists may feature any single character or grouping of characters from the following cast: The Turtles (Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael) Casey Jones, April O’Neil, Bebop, or Rocksteady. Artists may also feature the Tartaruga Brothers Truck.
- In the story, the Turtles are revealing themselves for the first time during the daylight: the golden hour that encompasses the feeling of being in-between worlds, not quite day, not quite night. Artists are encouraged to make use of this lighting style/time of day in their artwork.
- When creating your artwork, please do not include any of the following: blood/gore, excessive graphic violence, profanity/obscenities or nudity.
