JULY CONTEST: Design a book cover for the Wizard of Oz

[Chip Valecek]

Sorry for my lack of attention this month... I am in the process of selling my house and buying a new one

Anyway if anyone had issues posting this month please let me know. You can email me at cvalecek@gmail.com. We hit our limit of emails being sent from the forums which may have caused a delay in people getting their account validated. I will start to pull all the submissions and get the slideshow up and running by tomorrow!

Hi my name is stephanie, I'm new, This was my first time trying anything like this
I'm not a Subscriber so I figured it didn't matter when I posted this I just wanted to show it, I got kind of disheartened towards the end after seeing everyone else's but I still was proud of my concept. So here it is, I know it's not the best and it could use more TLC. I was encouraged to post here though
My instagram has better work

@Chip-Valecek Hello Chip congrats for your new acquisition and may you enjoy it at max

Sorry if you guys have answered this a million times but I am new and I just want to make sure i get it - what happens next - is there a place where it is announced when the Arena Critique takes place?

I know that the last months Critiques have been archived but I cant seem to find the link to that (I have a subscription)

thank you so much

@Kevin-Longueil ohhhh so then I am not the only one.. i have to confess since I am new to the forum i ve been clicking a bit around trying to figure out things.. I hope I haven't downvoted anyone - it is not on purpose !! how does this work actually ? how many times can you upvote and downvote someone, and what does this mean ? I ve noticed you can also do it to normal replies - I don't get it so well why would you downvote a reply which doesnt have a submission attached.. Do these votes count anywhere ?
thanks, and excuse a novice

@Joe-Kim this is really great, I like the rendering and there's a bit of power and mystery. Great job

[Joe Kim]

@Coley Thanks! Glad those feelings came through.

This is my first time submitting to these contests here. I had trouble submitting it on the 31st and I just got an email saying I can submit it today. I hope it's alright.

Wow, great work everybody!! We'll be convening our next Critique Arena on August 13, more details to come!

@sugo-studio Nice job! I love how colorful this is and so glad you got it to upload here!

@fpichel Thanks for entering the contest, and sorry for the delay on the email confirmation! We had to add that step on new accounts to help deter forum spam (although some still unfortunately gets in). Anyway, we'll accept your entry, and anyone else who ran into technical difficulties Just fyi, we'll be holding a live event on August 13 at 2pm MDT where our judges reveal the top 16 entries and critique the work, then the audience votes for the top two. It's a lot of fun! We'll record it if you can't make it.

@sugo-studio Yes, you're in!
