Design one or more shareable digital posters to promote the Harry Potter cast reunion: Harry Potter 20th Anniversary - Return To Hogwarts, coming to TBS on April 10!

On Sunday, April 10, the Harry Potter cast reunion, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary - Return To Hogwarts will come to TBS, and we're looking for talented graphic designers or artists to help celebrate this epic event with cool, original posters. If you've got a fun take on your favorite character, Hogwarts house, or horcrux, now's your chance to let your inner witch or wizard shine. 

Your posters can be mixed media, collages, pen-and-ink, CG, Ben-Day, illuminated manuscript, or anything in between; any of the main Harry Potter movie series cast, characters, settings, plots, props, or tropes are fair game for your inspiration, we just ask that you include the Harry Potter and TBS logos. Both logos are in the zip folder in the  Assets tab, along with some movie stills for inspiration (you do not need to base your posters on these shots!).

TBS is looking for three different digital posters, but they're open to one creator doing more than one, as long as each poster is very distinct. If you'd like to submit for multiple posters, we'd recommend submitting multiple submissions, each with a different approach

Check out more information in the Background, and for any questions or other project updates, check out the Project Forum.

DELIVERABLES: One poster-style image (4x5 or 9x16).

TIMELINE: Click here for the full project timeline.

EXPOSURE: TBS's Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Please review the platform best practices page.

TARGET AUDIENCE: Broad; millennial and Gen Z; fans of the Harry Potter film and/or book franchise and all things TBS. 

TONE: Fun, festive, engaging, and magical.

EXECUTIONAL MANDATORIES: 

• Your art MUST be based on and in celebration of the Harry Potter cast reunion.
• While we encourage you to really get imaginative and creative, your artwork should remain faithful to the Harry Potter books and films.
• You do not need to include messaging around the reunion in your artwork; your posters should celebrate the characters, the stories, and the nostalgia now inherent in the franchise. 
• Pretty much anything in the Harry Potter universe is game, although there are a few images we'd like you to avoid: 
  • Avoid the flying Ford Anglia
  • Avoid showing the Hogwarts Express at Kings Cross Station (inside the train is fine)
  • Avoid beer/alcohol, although Butterbeer is fine 
• While each artwork must promote the cast reunion, how you execute your art is up to you. We encourage you to propose a variety of mediums and styles in your pitch. 
• All final artwork must incorporate the Harry Potter logo and TBS logo, available in the Assets tab. Do not edit or make changes to the movie or network logos.

By participating in this project, creators acknowledge that the Sponsor is under no obligation to greenlight a pitch. Though most projects on our platform do move forward with a greenlit pitch, we will notify you in the event the Sponsor decides not to fund any pitches via the project forum. Regardless of the result, all pitch submissions will be reviewed and evaluated by the Sponsor and the project team.

The Harry Potter 20th Anniversary - Return To Hogwarts special event reunites former child stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint  with fellow cast members including Robbie Coltrane, Helena Bonham Carter, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman and Ralph Fiennes.

• PROOF OF CONCEPT ART (REQUIRED): Sample art and/or rough designs illustrating how you'd bring your poster to life.
