::This is a duplicate post of one in the Lone Prairie Journal.::



There was last year's contest.

Now there is this year's contest. A contest to win a free bookplate. If you're a reader or book lover...this is your contest.

How to win: Just email me, with the words "Bookplate Contest" in the subject line. In your email, tell me what book you would put your bookplate in first and why. Be creative because I so like witty and creative.

But I hate pretentious. So don't be pretentious.

Once I get fifteen entrants (which could take a few hours, a few days or a few months), I'll pick a winner based on the most creative book choice and response. I will then email that person and we'll hammer out the details.

If you win: I'll draw a bookplate for you, completely yours and unique. No cost. You'll get a high resolution image file and be free to print bookplates from that. You'll also be the envy of all the book readers in your huge book-reading circle.

Printing: Last year's winner had her bookplates printed at bookplate.com -- you might want to consider that. Other options would be your local Kinko's or print shop on adhesive paper (though that wouldn't be archival).

UPDATE: This contest is now closed. 10/29/07

Fine print: Your bookplate can contain an element representing a favorite hobby, your profession, a favorite animal, something historical, and so on. I can't depict copyrighted characters, nor will I depict anything lewd. I will email you a high-res image of your bookplate for you to print and use. Your bookplate will never be used for any other person on this planet: it's an original for you. However, you are not allowed to use it for anything but personal use; no commercial uses or profiting off of my design are allowed without my written permission. My designs are copyrighted by me, Julie R. Neidlinger. The bookplate will be displayed on this site in a low-res format so readers can see it.
