Dear Designers,
Halloween is right around the corner – do you have what it takes to create a costume that will win our latest competition?

Gen Art and Fox Searchlight invite you to create a Halloween costume inspired by the characters in Wes Anderson’s new film, based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book Fantastic Mr. Fox. As part of this competition, you can win up to $2500 by submitting a do-it-yourself Halloween Costume made from everyday items – that’s right, common, everyday, household type items.

Selected designers will be showcased in an online short produced by the winners of the filmmakers portion of this competition. These short films will present step by step instructions on how to create your original costume designs, and will be showcased on the Fox Searchlight website.

Costume designs will be accepted via email until September 21st. You can find all of the details at http://www.genart.org/film/fantasticmrfox.

Best of luck!

Gen Art Fashion
