This is exciting, going to try really hard to participate in this one

Is this book cover specifically for the first book by Baum in the Oz series ("The Wonderful Wizard of Oz") or can it cover the whole Ozzian timeline?

[deborah Haagenson]

@austinmdiamond I just re-read the prompt and it said AN edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' and doesn't specify which one. Personally I'm using the 1956 edition, which is quite different than the movie, which many of us probaly have etched in our brain !

@lucillustrations you finally got it to post, that's great - but you can go back and delete one because you've posted two copies. I'd keep the one that has more likes.

[lucillustrations]

@Heather-Boyd - Thanks. yes I’ve tried - having a few technical difficulties.

Hi everyone! My first ever contest entry. After feeling intimidated by the high standard of illustrations being posted by my fellow SVSers, I've decided to join in after realising this is a great way to encourage yourself to improve. I hope others do the same. As ever, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's work.

@Adam-Thornton We had the same idea. My picture is in a circle, but very diifferent, I also have my trees extending outside the circle. I think I'll wait to submit it though so they aren't right together.

@Chip-Valecek this is such a fun prompt! I just have one sort of technical question - I know there is a template a very specific size requirements/print specs, but there isn't anything in the prompt regarding web size, and already the final work posted in the thread varies greatly. Could you add specifications for the uploaded image size? thanks!

[Adam Thornton]

@deborah-Haagenson Hey Deborah, yes, I'd imagine that it's easy to have similar ideas. The circle on my picture is supposed to represent the witch's telescopic eye watching Dorothy et al. before she sends out the wolves. I'm looking forward to seeing yours.

[Adam Thornton]

@Lucky-Platt The original email for this contest says the image size must be no more than 500kb. Hope that helps

[Lucky Platt]

@Adam-Thornton thanks! I was wondering if there could be a pixel-width specification so that when everyone uploads their work it looks the same, but maybe that's too techie

[Adam Thornton]

@Lucky-Platt I'd say that's asking too much from us beginners!
