Could you design a poster for the new stage pro­duc­tion of The Twi­light Zone?

Known for its pierc­ing theme tune and omi­nous intro­duc­to­ry mono­logues, as well as some tru­ly creepy sto­ry­lines, The Twi­light Zone orig­i­nal­ly ran for five sea­sons between 1959 and 1964, but has had a last­ing impact on both tele­vi­sion and cin­e­ma across sci-fi, fan­ta­sy and hor­ror, inspir­ing every­thing from Mars Attacks! and The Simp­sons to Black Mir­ror and Inside No. 9.

Since it first aired in 1959 The Twi­light Zone has achieved icon­ic tele­vi­sion sta­tus and spawned lit­er­a­ture, games, and a 1983 Spiel­berg-pro­duced film. This win­ter the acclaimed CBS tele­vi­sion series lands on stage for the first time in its his­to­ry at the Almei­da The­atre, run­ning from 5 Decem­ber 2017 until 27 Jan­u­ary 2018. To cel­e­brate this extra­or­di­nary new pro­duc­tion, we’re set­ting a chal­lenge based around one of the most influ­en­tial sci-fi shows to have ever aired.

For this brief, we’d like you to cre­ate an alter­na­tive poster for the Almeida’s upcom­ing pro­duc­tion of The Twi­light Zone. Your design should focus on the theme of ​‘Dimen­sion of Imag­i­na­tion’ and take inspi­ra­tion from the orig­i­nal TV show’s dis­tinc­tive visu­al style. It must fea­ture at least one of the icon­ic images asso­ci­at­ed with the show, such as a door in space, a vin­tage tele­vi­sion, a float­ing eye, spin­ning clocks or a mono­chrome spi­ral – but as this is a new stage pro­duc­tion, please avoid using spe­cif­ic char­ac­ters or actors from the orig­i­nal TV series. We’ve includ­ed a selec­tion of ref­er­ence images and a clip of the show’s eerie open­ing cred­its below to help spark your imagination.

The win­ner will receive two tick­ets to see The Twi­light Zone at the Almei­da The­atre, a pro­gramme, two drinks in the Almei­da café bar, plus a one-year sub­scrip­tion to LWLies mag­a­zine. The win­ning entry will be cho­sen by LWLies and the Almei­da Theatre.

All entries must be pro­duced at A4 por­trait (210 x 297 mm) size. Sub­mit your design with the sub­ject line ​‘Almei­da Twi­light Zone cre­ative brief’ competitions@​tcolondon.​com. The dead­line for entries is mid­night on Mon­day 20 Novem­ber.

Please remem­ber to include your full name so we know who to cred­it. You can also send us your entry via Twit­ter or Insta­gram by tag­ging @LWLies, but be sure to email us a hi-res ver­sion of your entry as well. Good luck!
