The Weinstein Company today announced the start of a contest to create the best movie poster for Factory Girl, about Andy Warhol’s (Guy Pearce) object of attention, Edie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller). The winner of the contest will have their poster prominently displayed at their hometown theater, get a private screening of Factory Girl for them and 25 of his/her friends, a full-size print of their poster autographed by the cast, which includes Sienna Miller, Guy Pearce and Hayden Christensen, and a promotion for the poster on the film’s official website.

To enter the contest, simply log onto FactoryGirlmovie.net and download the ‘Contest Package’ which will provide you with images from the film, different title treatments, a billing block with logos, a copy of the official Factory Girl poster (for some creative inspiration), a ‘SampleHowTo.pdf’ which gives an overview of how the official poster, ‘Treatment Ideas’ was made (which gives different ideas of how to treat an image), and contest rules and directions to build your poster. Deadline: 31 January 2007.
