Nice Wonderful is the greatest book recontextualization cover design contest ever. Here’s how it works:
Each month Flatmancrooked will announce and display on this page a front cover of an untitled or partially titled imaginary book, containing only a name and space for a title and back cover copy. Like the example on the left.
The challenge is simple enough: give the book a title and some back cover copy or a blurb. Winning entries will typically be funny, lighthearted, and insightful.
Often the graphics or cover theme will remind you of one of the referenced author’s works. Use this to your advantage. Humor is appreciated.
This contest is absolutely free. Prizes will be awarded. The winning entry will be reflected in an updated graphic (like the one seen on the right) and published on the website. The three runners up will also be published.
Rules:
- Prizes will be sent out shortly after the winner is published.
- Flatmancrooked reserves the right to declare more than one party the winner in a given month and give out prizes accordingly.
- You may enter as many as 10 times per cycle.
- Entry is free.
