Major Tom
I am holding a contest to design the cover for the 2012 - Tenth Anniversary Edition of the Tarot Lovers' Calendar. The winning design will be used as the cover and the winning designer will get a copy of the 2012 calendar and a tarot reading from me.
We've had some really brilliant entries the last few of years with The78thFool winning in 2007, jmd in 2008, artandwords in 2009 and Draagonstorm in both 2010 & 2011. This is a real chance to get your work noticed. I especially want to encourage those who've entered before to enter again, as well as, those who've never entered to give the contest a go. Previous winners will tell you that they did not expect to win.
The Tarot Lovers' Calendars are a reflection of the talent of the members of the Aeclectic Tarot Forums with all the content produced by forum members. A percentage of any profits are returned to the Forums.
The rules:
1. Contest open to all members of the Aeclectic Tarot Forums. One entry per person please.
2. Original designs must be A4 size, that is, 210X297mm or 805X1170 pixels @ 300 dpi for electronically produced work as a minimum. Larger works may be submitted for reduction to A4 size. The calendar's content is in portrait layout. Entries to be submitted via email so any paintings or drawings must be photographed or scanned. Preferred format is .jpg or .tif.
3. Artwork can be in black&white, greyscale or colour and in any media. Please note however that the calendar will be printed on 'off-white' paper similar to all the editions since 2006.
4. All entries must be scanned for submission to me by email. You may also post your entry as an attachment (or as a link to your entry for non-subscribers) to this thread for comment by other members. If you aren't a subscriber I can post it for you at your request.

8. All entries will also feature in a poll on the Tarot Books & Media board for voting by Aeclectic Tarot Forum members. The question for the poll will be: "Which cover for the Tarot Lovers' Calendar 2012 would you be most likely to buy?"
