Cover Art Contest for the Maine Chapbook Series 2024
Ends on
Eligibility + GUIDELINES
+ The Maine Chapbook Series Cover Art Contest is open to all current Maine residents (including part-time, seasonal residents who grew up in Maine and have a regular presence in the state and/or those who own a second home in the state).
+ SUBMISSIONS will be open March 1 through April 15, 2025.
+ All entrants should submit up to 5 images of any visual art that could be cover art for a chapbook of stories.
+ Only one application per artist, please. There is no entry fee.
+ In concert with a professional graphic designer and the author, MWPA will make the final decisions on the graphic design of the cover. The artist's chosen image will be credited in the book and be treated with respect by the design. The winning artist will be asked to read the chapbook manuscript (approximately 60 pages) and have a chance to talk with the writer and the MWPA staff about the cover after the selection process.
+ The winning artist will receive a $500 stipend and 5 copies of the published chapbook.
+ Here's a link to an excerpt from the winning chapbook.
