Over at CGSociety — a contest challenging artists to create digital video, still images, or even audio re-imagining themes from the B-movies of the past.

Since the dawn of movies there was always a creepier, scarier, and unintentionally funnier cousin to the big budget blockbusters… the B-Grade Movie.

Cinema screens around the world flickered with startling images of wolfmen, zombies, nuclear-mutated monsters, and bug-eyed aliens with a penchant for probing. The 25th CGChallenge: “Attack of the 50ft CGChallenge” asks you, the artist, to bring these gems back to life, or create your own in their spirit, via a still image, video, or, for the first time, audio.

Awards will be given in modeling, texturing, animation, lighting, visual effects, landscape/matte painting, art direction, compositing and editing, best character, concept art, digital painting, and music & sound. Prizes include PC workstations and software packages.

The deadline for entries is April 19th.
