    Well, I totally stink at Photoshop and I only know how to use Paint (not extremely well, mind you), so I'm stuck with no entry and judging everyone else's masterpiece's. :p I'm all for judging though, just call me Simon. :)

    Free to do whatever. It just has to follow the guidelines I posted.

    It'll be used for the front page of the cook book I'm working on. Try to keep it under 800 pixels wide, at most. There are still those that use really low screen resolutions (though I'm not one anymore :D 1280x1024 ftw :p)

    Other than that, anything goes I'd say, so long as it'd look nice. I'm thinking the background will be a light brown or yellowish brown, I'm thinking the colour of really old paper, if that helps.

    I think since I'm the one who's making the thing that privelege belongs to me. :p

    As far as I know there's Basher, myself, Ashika, and Shijin, though there's probably more. But this is for the cover of the book, not the editors, isn't it? :p I do need a cover image. ;)

    Yep that is all it looks like. So people get to work. :D

    Right now we need a cover. Look at a books cover. That should help some.

    I think this should be extended by a month, seeing as it didn't get a single entry! :(

    Unless you want to be stuck with my crappy MSPaint images, you might want to get some entries in. ;)

    Let's say the new deadline is April 1st, and see what we can get from there. :)

    You're welcome. But I can't edit the thread title so it might confuse some people. :p

    Deadline extended to April 1st. Thanks to the mods. Added in who will judge.

    Also updated the speciation for this contest.

    1. Any medium is welcome. And any style is welcome.

    2. The image size must be longer then wider. Think like in a book format.

    3. It must be under 800 pixels wide.

    4. Must have BJP Cook Book written on cover.


    Entries: 5 max per person

    Shijin is still on but only on weekends. I don't think this will be too much of a problem.
