COMP CLOSED: Who would paint YOUR portrait?

This week, thanks to our friends at Transmission Films, we have 10 double passes to the new film Final Portrait – starring Geoffrey Rush as the world-renowned 20th century sculptor and artist Alberto Giacometti.

The film, directed by Stanley Tucci, takes place in Paris in 1964, when American writer and art-lover James Lord (played by Armie Hammer) is asked by Giacometti to sit for a portrait. This was famously documented by Lord in his own 1965 book about the event, but never before in film.

We have 10 double passes to give away. To win, simply tell us WHO you’d want to paint YOUR portrait, and why. Our favourite 10 will win!

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRIES! WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER.
