e-Book Cover Design Awards Submission Rules

  • Please link to a cover at least 200 px. wide (and preferably at least 300 x 300 px.).
  • Please send URLs that go directly to your e-book cover images, no Facebook pages or designer portfolio pages where we have to scan through to find the cover you want to submit. You can usually get this URL by right mouse clicking on the image on the website and selecting “Copy image URL” and send us that URL.
  • There is no restriction on publication date, but the e-books must be published at the time of submission, and I’m interested in current trends.
  • No PDF e-Book covers, that’s a different genre entirely.
  • No HTML e-Book covers.
  • Only the author, the publisher, or the designer can submit a cover, no “third parties.”
  • Only one submission per e-book allowed. We will not accept submissions for previously submitted, even if redesigned, covers unless the submission is for a second edition of an e-book (different ISBN).
  • No inappropriate subjects, please.
  • Although all covers that meet submission criteria will be published, not all will receive critiques.
  • We reserve the right to remove any entry for any reason.
  • New –> Submission limits: Maximum of 3 submissions (1 submission = one standalone cover or a series design with up to 3 volumes from the series) per month per category (fiction/nonfiction).

Thanks for participating. I can’t wait to see your books.

e-Book Cover Design Awards Submissions

  • This field is for a link where we can copy the cover of your e-book for inclusion in our blog post. Amazon links aren't usually appropriate for this field because the cover images shown on their pages are too small and require editing to remove the "Look Inside" graphics. Smashwords, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, for example, or your own website where you've displayed the cover are usually all good links. The image must be at least 200 pixels wide but can be larger.
  • Enter ONLY the e-book cover designer's website URL in this field. If your designer does not have a website enter "No website" in the field. Your submission will be disqualified if you include links to other sites in this field. Authors, unless you designed your own cover AND offer cover design services on your website, do not enter your website in this field; instead enter "No website."
  • This field is for a link where we can verify that your e-book has been published (a submission requirement).
  • Enter details about your e-book that directly relate to the cover design such as the significance of the image or color palette choices and/or name of font(s), etc. Please no plot summaries or URLs.

Why?
"Writers change the world one reader at a time. But you can't change the world with a book that's still on your hard drive or in a box under your bed. This blog exists to help you get that book into people's hands."
—Joel Friedlander
