USA & SYFY's Chucky series is helmed by Child's Play creator Don Mancini and features several returning cast members like Jennifer Tilly and Brad Dourif (the original voice of Chucky). Set in a small American town that finds itself plunged into utter chaos when a vintage 'Good Guy' doll shows up at a local yard sale, soon everyone must grapple with a series of horrifying murders that begin to expose the town's deep hypocrisies and hidden secrets.

By now, we all know the infamous doll Chucky - but did you also know he's the star of a TV series that was recently nominated for a GLAAD Media Award? As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Chucky creator Don Mancini has made it a priority to portray positive and inclusive representation. Based on his own experiences, at the heart of the series is a queer teen romance.

With Pride Month right around the corner, USA & SYFY want Chucky to break out his rainbow flag and join in the celebration! We're looking for FOUR different artists to design a poster that celebrates LGBTQIA+ Pride using characters and themes from season one of the Chucky TV show. Through your art, show us how the Chucky series has impacted you, and what it means to see this type of representation in media. We're looking for people who are talented artists and designers - but we're also looking for people who are authentically connected to the LGBTQIA+ community and fans of Chucky and the horror genre more generally.

When it comes to the poster itself, we're looking for a variety of styles and aesthetics, and you're not limited to a specific medium, so get creative! You should create your poster in a 4x5 aspect ratio. If helpful to your process, check out these official cast photos and portraits of the Chucky doll. Don Mancini himself will even be a part of the selection process!

Read through some more details below, and then get your pencils, pens, paints, and digital tablets ready.

• $1,250 for your poster artwork
