UI Visuals recently organized a two-day creative competition titled PosterRevival: Vintage to Visionary, designed to inspire students to reimagine iconic Hollywood movie posters from the 2000s through their own artistic lens. The event served as a platform for students to break traditional design norms and explore bold, abstract, and personal interpretations of cinematic visuals.

The first day of the event, held on April 25th, began with participant registration and a formal welcome. After community introductions and an engaging icebreaker session, participants dove into a design challenge where they had to creatively reinterpret classic movie posters. The day ended with all submissions collected and ready for review.

The second day, on April 27th, was filled with interactive games, jury feedback, and celebration. Participants enjoyed movie-themed trivia and charades before the much-anticipated winner announcement.

🏆 First Position was proudly secured by Sanjay Rijal, whose brilliantly reimagined poster captured the judges' attention with its striking originality, strong visual presence, and powerful storytelling. His work stood out not just for its creative design but also for the way it conveyed emotion and meaning, making it both visually appealing and deeply engaging. Sanjay's thoughtful approach and unique artistic perspective truly set his poster apart, earning him the top spot in the competition.

🥈 Second Position was awarded to Aman Shrestha, who captivated the jury with his bold and modern reinterpretation of a cinematic classic. His design showcased a perfect balance of contemporary aesthetics and deep respect for the original storyline, resulting in a visually stunning piece that felt both fresh and familiar. Aman’s ability to infuse modern design elements while preserving the soul of the original film earned him high praise and a well-deserved place among the top winners.

🏅 Both winners were honored with medals and certificates as a token of recognition for their outstanding creativity and artistic excellence. These awards celebrated not just their victory, but also their ability to think outside the box, tell compelling visual stories, and push the boundaries of design. Their achievements serve as an inspiration to others in the creative community.

PosterRevival was more than just a design competition—it was a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and design thinking. The UI Visuals Community is proud of all participants and looks forward to continuing to provide platforms for aspiring designers to shine.
