The Library is producing two books in the public domain to offer as prizes in its annual Summer Game. We're offering community artists the opportunity to create the front covers for each of these releases. Artists must reside in Michigan. Artists selected to create each cover will be paid $1,000. The books being produced are 5.5 x 8.5 paperbacks. Artists are only responsible for creating the front covers.
This is not a call for speculative work.
The two public domain books AADL will be releasing are:
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
The Weary Blues by Langston Hughes
