Previous Post – Rally To Restore Unity

As some of you know, back in March I announced a Book Cover Design Contest for an ebook I am working on.  I set the due date for entries to April 8th.  While I have received some great submissions to date, we haven’t quite received enough to make a real go of the contest.  With that in mind, I am going to extend the deadline to June 15th.  If we don’t receive enough entries by then, I will be scrapping the contest.  For those who entered prior to this post, if that happens, I will be sending you all a free copy of the ebook when it is complete.  So let’s get some more entries!  Here is the info once again:

For those who have been following my Facebook & Twitter posts, I have been working on a an ebook (not to be confused with my forthcoming print book, “The Cost of Community: Jesus, St. Francis & Life in the Kingdom” with Likewise Books/IVPress, due out in November).

The ebook, which is entitled “Living Christ Together: Reflections on the Missional Life”, a collection of essays and articles.  Drawing from nearly 10 years of blogging & writing, it will include stories, reflections, quotes and questions about life, faith & mission.  My plan is to release it on the Amazon Kindle store for $1.49.

One thing that is still lacking is a good, quality book cover design.  As I don’t have the money for a designer, I thought it might be fun to have a design contest.  People can submit their cover ideas to myself and a small group of local judges.  The top three finalists will each receive a free copy of the ebook.  Their submissions will be displayed here and everyone can vote.  The winner will receive a copy of “The Cost of Community” when it is released in November (possibly along with some other book prizes as well).  The winner will also get listed credit in the ebook, including their name and a URL to their website of choice (as long as it is appropriate, of course).

I will be accepting submissions starting today, closing by June 15th, 2011.  Submissions should be emailed to jamiearpinricci AT gmail D0T com.

UPDATE: Obviously any images you use must be completely copyright free.  Do not use images randomly from only that you do not have full license to use.  All such submissions will be excluded.
