Ramadan Cover Design Competition

Ramadan Cover Design Competition


emel is proud to launch our first ever cover competition to give you the opportunity to express what the blessed month of Ramadan means to you. 

 

We’re looking for a beautiful design to grace the front cover of our August issue. If you’re an artist, a photographer, or just have a box of crayons lying around, we want to hear from you! Send us your designs to be in with a chance to have your creation printed as the Ramadan 2011 front cover.

Your work will be assessed by a panel of judges, including emel’s Editor & CEO, Sarah Joseph.

 

 

 

GUIDELINES

 

You can submit an illustration, sketch, photograph or design for the front cover. Feel free to send in a short description about the significance of your entry. 

Don’t think you need to be an expert to enter. We will judge all work based on its idea, even if not yet perfected or professionally designed.

All entries must be the original work of the author—no plagiarism, please.

 

HINTS & TIPS

 

Ramadan can mean many things to you: a time for family, for your community, to help others, and an opportunity for spiritual reflection. The winning cover should express the essence of the month.

A magazine cover is designed to attract attention; what would capture your eye on a shop shelf? 

Remember, the cover doesn’t just have to make you pick up the magazine, you need to be encouraged to read the content—try and incorporate elements of emel into your piece of work.

So, what are you waiting for? Get your creative cogs turning, explore the world around you for inspiration, and get an entry in!
