Blue Island Review Cover Contest

We need a cover for our second issue. And we want to see YOUR amazing art work.

2010 BIR Cover

Contest is open to those with a connection to Northeast Kansas or Northwest Missouri. There are no age restrictions.

Please keep in mind that we are a regional literary journal and therefore appreciate Kansas and Midwest inspired work. It is not, however, required of your submission. We want you to stun us, surprise us, and redefine Blue Island for us. Make it colorful and make it stand out. Or don’t. It’s your art and we want to see what you come up with. Last year’s cover was inspired by the journal’s name, Blue Island, and so you may also want to keep that in mind as you create your cover.

As of now, you have until July 20th to submit artwork to the contest. If you have any questions, please email us at blueislandreview@gmail.com. Also, find us on Facebook and ask us questions there, if you want.

Though we cannot pay you for your contribution, you will receive two contributor’s copies of the journal, and of course recognition for your artwork in the contributor’s notes, in addition to our love and appreciation.

Please note: Each cover is a front and back – and should be 1688×2625 Pixels at 200pi or better. As you design your cover, please keep in mind that there will be a bar code on the back, lower right hand corner.
