Hello All! It's that time again! Submissions for our quarterly Cover Art Contest are now open! Here are some frequently asked questions:
How much does it cost?
Nothing! It's FREE!
Can a cover DESIGNER participate?
Of course.
Can an author participate even if they did not design their cover?
Yep.
Is there a limit on the number of covers that I submit?
Please, only send one cover per author/design company. If separate authors submit covers from the same designer, your submissions will be included despite being created by the same designer.
Can you submit a cover that has participated in a previous Cover Art Contest?
We ask that you only submit a particular cover once to one of our contests.
What about AI art?
As long as a human had a hand in creating part of the cover, it is fine to submit it.
Does it matter what genre the book is?
No, but keep it clean!
If you are interested in submitting your cover, learning about the prizes, or finding out more contest information, follow the link below (sunsetvalleycreations.com/contest).
May your day be bright and your reading be epic!
