Submit and Win!

500€ Grand Prize

The winning designer will receive a prize of 500€ Euro for the final cover wrap.

A Creative Partnership

This isn't a one-off price. This book is the beginning of a dark series. The winning artist will have the first right of refusal to design the remaining covers in the series at a professional, negotiated rate.

Portfolio & Pedigree

Your work will be the face of this series across all major platforms. Whether you are an established pro or a rising talent, having a published series cover in your portfolio is a major milestone.

The Bragging Rights

There is nothing quite like seeing your art on a physical bookshelf. 

Why This Competition?

From one artist to another

As a creative, an oil painter, and an author, I know the weight of the "struggling artist" label. I spend my weekends selling my portraits at markets. I know the grit it takes to turn a passion into a paycheck. I know how hard it is to succeed when the world expects you to do it for free.

I’d rather pay You

If I have to pay a professional to design my book cover, I’d rather pay you.

Yes, you. The person sitting on serious talent but maybe lacks the "official" portfolio. The person who lives and breathes their craft but hasn't had that one big break yet. I am talking to you because I believe in the raw, untapped skill that exists outside of big design agencies.

This might be the kick you need

Sometimes, you don't realise how good you truly are until the universe gives you a nudge (or a kick in the butt). Entering this competition is about more than just winning a prize. It is about the act of putting yourself out there -- YOU ARE ENOUGH, NOW!

 It is the proof that you are good enough. Even if you don’t walk away with the grand prize this time, you’ve started the engine.
