The winner announced on Friday, October 30!

2026 is a big year for The Brattle. It marks the 25th anniversary of the cinema as a nonprofit. As part of that celebration we launched a poster design contest to celebrate this milestone.

We invited local designers and artists to submit their original designs in a poster competition to celebrate our 25th Anniversary as a nonprofit. There were no parameters other than 1) NO AI and 2) it should include the theme “Film Lives!”

Thanks to all who sent in entries!

So many designs were submitted that we had to divide voting into two parts. The first round cut the full 52 submissions down to a final top 10.

Check out the final round designs and vote for your favorites

Prize:

• The winning poster will be adapted into The Brattle Theatre’s 25th Anniversary t-shirt, and a printed copy of the poster will be displayed at the Theatre.
• The winning artist will receive a $150 stipend, a $250 Brattle gift card, and a 25th Anniversary t-shirt featuring their design.
