Contests

Art Contest: Movie Posters

After reading “Drive-Ins: The Last Great Picture Show,” everybuggy wanted to go to a drive-in like the one on our cover. But nobuggy could agree on the movie! So Pudding suggested that, for this month’s contest, our readers create a poster of the movie they’d most like to see at the drive-in.

Will your poster entice everybuggy to come out for a night of science fiction or comedy? Fantasy or true adventure? Will your night at the drive-in feature scary monsters, bold knights, flying saucers, or cuddly puppies? You can create a poster about any movie you like, a real movie or one that exists only in your imagination. Perhaps you have a favorite book that has been turned into a movie or that you would like to see turned into one. What’s showing at the drive-in tonight is totally up to you!

So hop in the car and leave the bug spray at home, because everybuggy will be pulling into the Cricket Country drive-in--where bugs are very welcome--for a warm, buggy night under the stars watching your favorite movie.
