Cover art competition
Your mission is to create the
cover and title art for a new book being published for Bristol Festival of
Literature by Angry Robot. The book will contain the Top 10 stories from our
Kraken Rises! creative writing competition and will be sold as an ebook. Submit
as a hi-resolution jpeg to Trail@unputdownable.org by 30th
September 2013. The winner and commended runners-up will be
announced on October 4th, by email, and all entrants invited to the Exhibition
Launch at The Parlour, College Green, Bristol BS1 5TB on Fri 18 Oct, 7pm, and
the winner will be invited to the launch of the book itself on Sat 26 Oct.
Every time there is a great
comet in the sky Bristol suffers a bout of extra weirdness. These events are
called “kraken events”. The SS Great Britain ramming a giant squid in the
Bristol channel? A Kraken event. Giant tentacles emerging from the city sewers?
A Kraken event. What we’re looking for in the cover is an exercise of
imagination - illustrate a new Kraken event for us! Don't forget the comet and
make sure that it is recognisably Bristol! Be clear and bold - the cover will
need to work in ebook retailers around the world! The title text will be Kraken
Rises! and you can include it in your design or leave it to us, either way is
fine, but leave space for it!
All entries will have their
work digitally displayed at the festival hub (The Parlour) from 19-27 October
and the first 50 entrants will be eligible to receive a copy of Robinson
Crusoe, courtesy of Wordsworth Classic Editions, to be picked up from the
festival hub during the festival. To enter (or to ask further questions), email us now to say
you're taking part, on: Trail@unputdownable.org
