Universal Pictures teamed up with Talenthouse to promote the theatrical release of DreamWorks Animation’s THE BAD GUYS.

In conjunction with Talenthouse, Universal Pictures hosted an art competition where fans of their film the DreamWorks Animation film THE BAD GUYS had the opportunity to enter their fan art. Submissions were open until noon on April 4 to legal residents of the United States and the United Kingdom who are 18 and older.

There were some important things for artists to consider before they submitted any work that could be found on Talenthouse's webpage about the contest.

A total of five pieces were selected by DreamWorks as “Selected Creators” and were each awarded $2,000. The artwork submitted by the “Selected Creators” had the chance to be featured on the DreamWorks and Universal Pictures official marketing channels. In addition to receiving prize money and having the possibility of being featured, one of these “Selected Creators” was chosen as the “Grand Prize Winner”, who was invited to visit the DreamWorks Animation Studios in Glendale, CA, and was treated to a special tour.
