Fan art inspired by Gre­ta Gerwig’s film, cre­at­ed for our lat­est design competition.

To cel­e­brate the release of Gre­ta Gerwig’s Lit­tle Women on dig­i­tal, DVD and Blu-ray, we asked our read­ers to sub­mit an orig­i­nal piece of art­work inspired by the film. The brief was to cre­ate an orig­i­nal book cov­er, fea­tur­ing the title plus one or some of the main characters.

As ever with these briefs, we were huge­ly impressed by the high stan­dard of entries as well as the sheer breadth of dif­fer­ent artis­tic styles on show. Our team of in-house design­ers have cho­sen the over­all win­ner along with two run­ners up, which you can check out below, along with a selec­tion of our favourite entries.

We’d like to extend a mas­sive thank you to every­one who took part. We’ll be back with anoth­er cre­ative brief soon…
