CONGRATULATIONS JASON LARCHE >>>
One hundred and ninety artists competed in the 2010 Tacoma Film festival Poster Competition. Many were of the whimsical nature, but the judges chose a classical design (see above). Rachel Marecle, director of community development for The Grand Cinema, just confirmed that Jason Larche won. A press release will be sent out later this week.
The Tacoma Film Festival will run Oct. 7-14 at The Grand Cinema and other downtown Tacoma venues.
Congratulations Jason.
UPDATE: Here is the official press release:
Tacoma, Wash. - Holy Moly! After looking at 195 poster submissions the Grand Cinema is proud to announce the winning poster design for the 2010 Tacoma Film Festival by graphic designer Jason Larche (see attached design - not absolute final design, working on a few adjustments).
It was no easy task selecting this year's winning poster. Entries were received from all over the world (Istanbul, Germany, Colombia) and the talent was incredible. Thank you to the panel of judges along with our loyal Grand Cinema patrons for giving us your feedback that ultimately led to the winning choice.
"The poster is clean, simple and does a good job of mixing film and Tacoma," says Philip Cowan, Grand Cinema's Executive Director. "With so many talented entries it was really difficult choosing just one winner."
Thank you to each and every artist who submitted a design. The Grand Cinema is very lucky to have such great supporters that are willing to share their talent.

About the Design
My goal with this design was to boldly announce the festival by establishing a reputable and contemporary look. I wanted to convey Tacoma's character in a classical manner through a high-contrast color palette. It was important for me to show my appreciation of traditional film in what has increasingly become a digital art form.
