Youth social networking meets book cover design!
Penguin Group has partnered with Piczo, a teen-oriented social networking zone, for the PiczoMYPenguin contest. Penguin asked six popular musical acts to name a favorite Penguin Classic book and design a cover for each, then challenged Piczo members: “Think YOU can do better???” Entrants can pick one of the six books and create a Piczo page for the cover. The bands will pick their favorite designs, and winners can get CDs from the bands, a set of the books, and exclusive limited edition images of the bands’ cover designs.
Note: Caroline McCarthy at The Social wrote on August 2 that the contest “runs for the next four weeks,” though I could not find anything at either Piczo or Penguin that stated this.
