New: Cover Photo Contest 2011
Last winter we had a very successful cover photo contest at Frommers.com, so we’ve teamed up with Barnes & Noble to do it again.
Winner Claudio Lombardo‘s image of a surfer on a cell phone underneath a Huntington Beach pier captured Los Angeles perfectly and appeared on the cover of Frommer’s Los Angeles 2011.
We expect some excellent contributions again this time around. As one of the four judges, I’ll be going through the tens of thousands of entries over the next month to select the top contenders. And since I’m a judge, I’ll offer four pieces of advice for entrants that you ignore at your own peril
- No photos of animals in zoos
- No close ups of flowers, plants, or spider webs
- No pics of your backyard, event if it’s a great place for a staycation
- Your family is very handsome, but it’s not cover material
We’ve put together a few links from last year’s contest that you can look to for inspiration and/or guidance.
As an added bonus, here’s a roundup of classic covers from Arthur’s storage closet. Sorry, illustrators, we’re not accepting drawings of destinations anymore.
