Popis: We derive the variational limiting theory of thin films, parallel to the F\"oppl-von K\'arm\'an theory in the nonlinear elasticity, for films that have been prestrained and whose thickness is a general non-constant function. Using $\Gamma$-convergence, we extend the existing results to the variable thickness setting, calculate the associated Euler-Lagrange equations of the limiting energy, and analyze the convergence of equilibria. The resulting formulas display the interrelation between deformations of the geometric mid-surface and components of the growth tensor.
