Kilpailun tehtävänanto

UPDATED on 12/11/2018!
* Changed contest to focus on just the front & back cover
* Provided examples of styles that we like in the attachments section

Hello Everyone! My mom and I are looking to publish our second self-published book "Don't Lose Your Head". We know self-publishing is hard so not sure if we will be successful but we want to try. We are kicking off a contest to have an illustrator sketch, draw, and color two pages of the book - the front & back of the cover! You will see more details on Pages 1 of attached. We've provided some of other pages for reference so you can see how the story will go.

Once we pick a winner, we will be awarding a full job to complete the other 13 pages for between $20-$30 per page (to be negotiated). Please note that the winner will not automatically be awarded the job for the rest of the pages, but that is the intent. Also, we are looking to "buy out" use of your illustrations, meaning that by accepting a cash offer, you authorize us to use your illustrations in a variety of ways (online, in book, etc.).

Note that the cover (front + back) will need to be 16.50in wide and 10.25in tall but each individual illustration will be 8.25in wide by 10.25in tall.

The story itself is about a young boy (Parker) who wakes up one morning and decides he does not like his head. He ventures off to The Head Store and meets Mr. Hubert, the store owner. Mr. Hubert encourages the little boy to try on as many heads as he would like-- and that is where the adventure begins. This is a story of self discovery that comes to life in an imaginative concept.

P.S. Submissions from your portfolio does not qualify for this contest. Thanks!

Can't wait to see your ideas! Reach out with any questions!

    Hi there, this is a fab contest and a really unique story you are telling, i would love to participate in the contest, i just had an important question. I understand the possible winner of the contest will not necessarily get to illustrate the entire book, but if so, they would have to be comfortable with the price per illustration you quoted in the description. Personally i think the reason you havent received many entries, or very detailed ones, is because creating an illustration in the style you are looking for ( watercolor style drawing) takes a long time, and involves a lot of detail, and taking into consideration freelancers whopping fees, the illustrator would only receive like 15 / 20 dollars per drawing, and thats tremendously low. in the hypothetical case, do you feel their would be any wiggle room for increasing your budget? thanks in advance :)
