Budding graphic designers, take note: Janet Jackson wants you to design the cover for her new album, “20 Years Old,” to be released September 26.
According to Yahoo:
The Design Me contest requires participants to download images of Janet, create proposed album covers, and to post the creations on the contest page. Contestants will vote for their favorite submissions, and Janet will select her top four favorites, which will be used for the first one million copies of the album.
Sounds great, huh? Well, okay, there’s also this tiny bit of fine print:
Each Grand Prize winner will receive an autographed copy of his/her design for his/her personal, private use only and not for resale and winning design will appear in selected publicly distributed copies of Janet Jackson “20 Years Old” CD, subject to the Sponsor’s absolute right not to use one or more winning designs on any copies for any reason in its sole discretion.
So, Janet might use your winning design, if she feels like it, unless she doesn’t want to.
But still: a pretty cool opportunity, if you’re good with PhotoShop…
