Book cover design competition

Paid Book Cover Competition (€500 Prize)

Hello!

My name is Poppy Harrows, and I am an author currently preparing my debut novel for publication. I am reaching out because I am looking to work with an illustrator or designer to create the cover for this project.

As someone who is both an artist (oil portraiture) and a student, I understand how difficult it can be to build experience and find meaningful opportunities early in a creative career. Because of that, I have chosen to run a paid competition rather than commission through an agency.

The competition offers a €500 prize, along with the opportunity for the winner to design the covers for the rest of the series under a paid agreement.

I believe this could be a valuable opportunity for your students to:

• Work from a real creative brief
• Build a professional portfolio piece
• Gain experience connected to a live project
• Earn a cash prize and potential follow-up work

There is also a dedicated website with full details, including the brief, submission guidelines, and timeline:

www.poppyharrows.com

Entry is free, and I am available to answer any questions if needed.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,
Poppy
