      Hi Ed, if it's not too late, I hope you'll reconsider using the design contest sites for your book cover.

      These types of contests are damaging to the graphic design industry.
      I highly recommend contacting International Council of Graphic Design Associations, AIGA, GAG, Society of Graphic Designers of Canada or any other professional graphic design association/organization about what is acceptable for a design contest. Your contest as it is now is considered a spec contest (working on the speculation of getting a return).
      Ask yourself, would you offer a spec contest for legal advice, tax services, computer services, building repair, or any other professional service? No, you wouldn't. Because their time has value. The same as ours.
      Please consider a different route to acquire your bookcover, one that everyone can be supporting of. There are plenty of professional designers out there looking for work.


      Regards,
