Take part in our lat­est cre­ative brief and you could win some exclu­sive prizes from Gre­ta Gerwig’s film.

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Gre­ta Gerwig’s Lit­tle Women. Star­ring a host of house­hold names includ­ing Saoirse Ronan, Tim­o­th­ée Cha­la­met, Flo­rence Pugh, Emma Wat­son and Meryl Streep, the Amer­i­can filmmaker’s unique take on Louisa May Alcott’s cher­ished nov­el was hailed by our own David Jenk­ins as one of the great mod­ern adaptations”.

Now, to cel­e­brate the release of Lit­tle Women on dig­i­tal today, and Blu-ray and DVD on 25 May, we’re set­ting a new cre­ative brief which taps into the film’s lit­er­ary roots.

For this brief, we’d like you to send us an orig­i­nal book cov­er design inspired by Lit­tle Women. Your design should be illus­trat­ed, and must include the film’s title and at least one of the main stars.

Four women in 19th century prairie dresses and hats, carrying baskets, standing on a sandy beach.

The over­all win­ner, as cho­sen by our in-house team, will receive an exclu­sive prop from the movie itself – the orig­i­nal paint­ing which Amy admires in her art class. This is an orig­i­nal work by artist Kel­ly Car­mody, who paint­ed sev­er­al pieces for the film includ­ing the large por­trait of Mr Lau­rence (Chris Coop­er) in his house.

A painter stands at an easel in a garden, painting a landscape. A woman in a flowing white dress stands nearby, observing the artist's work. The setting features lush greenery and flowers.

Two run­ners up will receive a copy of Lit­tle Women on Blu-ray, plus a Lit­tle Women enam­el pin from Lit­er­ary Empo­ri­um, a lim­it­ed edi­tion Lau­ra Dern’ t‑shirt from Girls on Tops Tees, and a hand­writ­ten note from Miss Mod­ern Cal­lig­ra­phy.

All entries must be sent to competitions@​tcolondon.​com under the sub­ject line Lit­tle Women cre­ative brief’ by mid­day GMT on 25 May.

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. Please remem­ber to include your full name so we know who to cred­it. Good luck!
