THE ATLANTEANS BOOK ART CONTEST
ATTENTION ART STUDENTS:
Would
you be interested in illustrating one or more chapters of
The Atlanteans?
This would be a young artist’s opportunity
to add to their portfolio, not only their artwork - as seen
in a future, fully illustrated, edition of The Atlanteans
- but also the title of “Illustrator” on his or
her resume. This opportunity is being created for students
who are United States citizens and attend high schools, art
schools, colleges and/or universities.
No further compensation will be offered to the
student(s) by the author, or the publisher, other then a credit
line. The artwork used within The Atlanteans will become the
sole property of the author. All artwork is to be scanned
and submitted over the Internet. All originals remain with
the student. No submissions will be returned.
One illustration will be chosen for each of
35 chapters in the novel, and will appear in a future “fully
illustrated” edition of the book. More than one artist
will be considered. If chosen, your artwork would most likely
appear on one full page, at the beginning of a chapter. If
more than one piece of art is used per chapter, it may appear
somewhere within the chapter, as follows:
(Illustration)
(Artist’s signature, school, city and state)
At the present time, the publisher can only
publish in black and white, although the artwork should be
created in full color, and then copied into a black and white
format by the publisher. All submissions should be submitted
via the Internet, only.
If, in the future, a colored version of the
artwork can be used, it will be used in a cymk colorization.
So please submit/scan 5x8-inch color drawings, with a bright
spring palette. When artwork is submitted in full color, it
will actually give many variations of gray, rather than just
black and white when converted into the required format.
The publisher’s graphic policy is that
the artwork must be submitted in 300 dpi images, in tiff file
format, 5x8-inch, which will give the drawing a ½-inch
border during the printing process. Please use this format.
You can draw either an upright drawing on a page, or a sideways
drawing, at your discretion. The book’s actual size
will be 6”x9” in both hardback and paperback.
A copy of The Atlanteans will be available
through your local library (please make a request for the
book, if not yet ordered by the librarian in charge). Or the
book can be purchased at a local bookstore, or via this website.
Each illustration should create a visual reference
for the reader, of an important scene contained within each
of the following chapters. Parenthetical suggestions are just
that, suggestions. The artist’s ideas and discretion
will be considered. Think about what you would want to “see”
illustrated in the story:
