Congratulations on getting published Helgard!!!!! That's a pretty tall order.

One of the top artists here does book covers, I'm pretty sure. I don't know if he'd be interested in a contest (he might, he enters and usually wins Rendo contests), but you may want to drop him a note and alert him to the post. AFAIK, he doesn't usually read forums.  His user name is calum5 - super nice guy too. You ay know him already.
