Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), a leading motion picture exhibitor in the United States, announced Wednesday that acclaimed actor and producer Vin Diesel has chosen a winner for the Regal Fan Art Challenge.
Regal moviegoers were asked to design a poster for the upcoming “Riddick” movie. Selected from nearly 800 contest entries, a design by Merē Jorgensen is the grand prize winner.
“I have career aspirations of working in the entertainment design industry, and a friend suggested I enter. It seemed like a great opportunity to exercise my skills and gain some experience,” said Merē when asked about her interest in the contest.
“I love science fiction and the overall aesthetic of the ‘Riddick’ franchise. I also like Vin Diesel and how he often takes on fun roles in films, which is always enjoyable to see.”
