Cover Art Contest!

I was trying to figure out how I was going to find the perfect cover for my book... there are specific things I am looking for. Because I am a new author I want to feature art from a new, or newer, artist. Someone who has had little or no exposure. Possibly someone who has not had an opportunity to put their art out there in the world.

I have been struggling trying to figure out how to look for said artist... Then it hit me! I am going to have a cover art contest! 

I would love to feature some of the art on my blog. I would like to pick my favorite five and have everyone vote on their favorite! That way my target audience... You... has a say in what the book looks like!

I would like some opinions on what kind of reward you would like to see for the winner, and the runner ups of the contest. I will announce the start and end dates, rewards, and all other details when I get them worked out.

Please let me know what you think. Leave me a comment on this blog, or email me with "Cover Art Contest" in the subject line. 

Feel free to help me spread the word and +1 this post, share it on facebook, twitter, or your favorite social networking site!
