The results of our cre­ative brief, inspired by Daphne du Mau­ri­er icon­ic source nov­el, are in…

To mark the release of Ben Wheatley’s Rebec­ca, based on Daphne du Maurier’s clas­sic Goth­ic nov­el of the same name, we asked our read­ers to cre­ate an orig­i­nal poster inspired by the source mate­r­i­al and fea­tur­ing one or both of the new cast mem­bers, Lily James and Armie Hammer.

Select­ing the win­ners wasn’t easy, such was the high stan­dard – but we’re delight­ed to share the results below along with a gallery of all the entries we received. Thanks to every­one who took part!
