We’re baaaack!

Bust out that chalk and join us for Buffalo’s Annual Studio Ghibli Chalk Contest, now celebrating its THIRTEENTH continuous year as one of the coolest expressions of Ghibli love on the planet.

CHALK CONTEST ENTRY IS FREE!

All skill levels are encouraged!

Some chalking supplies will be provided!

FREE water for chalkers!

This year, in addition to the chalk fest 7/11-12, we’ll be screening an ENTIRE WEEK’s worth of Ghibli favorites.

🌸🌸🌸
Our lineup of films this year includes:
SPIRITED AWAY
HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE
THE CAT RETURNS
THE TALE OF THE PRINCESS KAGUYA

🌸🌸🌸

General prize packages TBA (they will be cool!) and will be sponsored by GKIDS Films—the American distributor of Studio Ghibli—and Gutter Pop Comics across the street.

As in previous years, the festival spans TWO days: July 11 – July 12th. Except in extenuating circumstances, artists will be judged according to one day’s worth of work.

Chalking starts at 9:00 AM Saturday and Sunday. (But you can start any time after.)

Final judging starts at 9 PM Sunday.

(Take a break and catch one of FOUR Ghibli films playing all day during the fest!)

Please use non-permanent materials.
