Von Männlichen Musen Poster Design Contest Submission
Thank you for participating in our poster contest! We appreciate your time and dedication, and we look forward to reviewing the design concepts from each participant. Cheers!

ABOUT
The team behind Von Männlichen Musen (a 2025 NYSCA grantee) is seeking an original poster concept to represent our short film — a dark psychological comedy, satirizing the age-old convention of the male-artist and female-muse. Von Männlichen Musen is currently in development, and the winning poster concept and commissioned work will be used for promotion and marketing.

OUR GOAL
Von Männlichen Musen is a 16-minute psychological comedy about artists and muses, written and directed by Brooklyn-based filmmaker Allegra Oxborough, and co-produced by Eldest Daughter’s Rafaela Sanchez. As a 2025 NYSCA grantee, the project aims to provide a platform for local artists to introduce their work to a wider audience, while contributing to the promotion of Von Männlichen Musen with original art featured on the film’s poster.

THEMES / SYNOPSIS Von Männlichen Musen is a dark psychological comedy set in the opulent world of high art that takes some wickedly delicious turns. The story follows Hector, who feels way over his head when he attends the art show of his girlfriend Avery's mother, and is shocked to discover a larger-than-life nude portrait of Avery's ex-boyfriend hovering above him — awkward!
