We're teaming up with GKIDS, the distributor of Studio Ghibli's latest movie FROM UP ON POPPY HILL, for an art contest. The prizes are awesome (more on them below). The movie is written by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki and directed by his son Goro Miyazaki.

You can check out the trailer here: www.fromuponpoppyhill.com

3. Email your entries with exactly the subject line "POPPY HILL POSTER" to this address: montycristo@gmail.com
