BBFC, WB partner on Create The Card Competition
April 23, 2025
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has announced the return of its flagship Create The Card Competition for the upcoming release of DC Studios’ Superman, landing in cinemas on July 11th, distributed by Warner Bros Pictures.
The art contest offers young artists an opportunity to design the official BBFC Black Card for the film. The winning entry will be displayed before every UK cinema screening of Superman.
To mark the launch of this year’s competition, stars of the movie David Corenswet (Superman/Clark Kent), Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) and Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor) have encouraged 12-16 year olds to apply, giving them a “chance to unleash [their] artistic powers, celebrate what Superman means to [them] — and be part of cinema history”.
The competition encourages creativity whilst educating entrants about film classification and the importance of age ratings in protecting audiences. It also promotes critical thinking in young people about the content they consume, helping them to make informed viewing choices.
The winner, who will be revealed in July, will receive a framed copy of their winning Black Card and an invite to an exclusive Superman screening.
President of the British Board of Film Classification, Natasha Kaplinsky OBE, commented: “As Superman flies back onto the big screen, the BBFC’s Create The Card competition returns to celebrate young imaginations in heroic style. This year, we’ve joined forces with Warner Bros Pictures to mark Superman’s cinematic comeback—and we’re calling on young artists to channel their superpowers into designing the iconic BBFC Black Card for the film. Create The Card is a unique opportunity for young film fans to unleash their creativity and leave their superheroic legacy on cinematic history. The winning design will be screened in cinemas across the country when the film is released this summer. Given the outstanding talent we’ve seen in previous competitions, we’re confident this year’s entries will soar to new heights. The BBFC is proud to inspire the next generation to explore the magic and influence of film—and the vital role age ratings play in shaping their viewing experiences.”
Alex Lewis, SVP Marketing, Warner Bros. Discovery UK and Ireland, added: “Superman is an icon beloved around the world, and James Gunn’s new imagining of the world’s first superhero is something we’re proud to deliver to audiences of all ages everywhere this summer. Superman is this year’s most-anticipated film and we are excited to offer young UK fans the opportunity to feel a part of this singular movie-going experience.”
