SUPER AWESOME Throne of Glass Design Contest! (And a brief update!)

So, I’m currently writing this from Adelaide, Australia (which is awesomeee), and just spent the past two weeks in New Zealand, road tripping from Auckland all the way down to Queenstown (no words to describe how amazing this trip was, but perhaps my Instagram will do it some justice)! I’ll have a more detailed recap of everything in my December newsletter, but because I’m on the road (and newsletters take a while to format), I figured I’d share today’s awesome news on my blog instead!

What news, you ask? WELLLLL….

First, the playlist for The Assassin and the Desert (perhaps my favorite novella) is now up on my Spotify page! (for the full/uncut playlist--because Spotify doesn't have all the songs--click here.)

And second (which is the real/actual news)....

As you might have already seen, I’ve partnered with Litographs for the glorious Throne of Glass merchandise (I never get sick of seeing photos of you guys rocking those t-shirts!). And while this awesome design is here to stay, we’re creating a NEW special design for this holiday season….

And what, precisely, makes it so special (other than the given holiday cheer)?

YOU could be the designer. Yep. Like, you.

Litographs is hosting a contest for the next TOG design—to be featured in both their online store AND in indie bookstores across the US! Litographs has never done anything like this before, but they’ve been so amazed by the sheer talent and gorgeousness of the Throne of Glass fanart online that they wanted to invite you guys to participate in the creation of the next TOG design.

(See details below to submit your art—as well as all the the incredible (like, INCREDIBLE) prizes.)

Below is a lot of terms and info (courtesy of the fantastic team at Litographs!), but if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Litographs team! I seriously cannot wait to see what you guys come up with! :D

Annnnd I should go to bed now, since I need to be up bright and early to attend Supanova in Adelaide! Just in case you need it, I’m posting my Australia tour info here, too! All of my non-Supanova events are sold out, but if you're at the con, come see me! I'll be on some awesome panels and signing books all day!



Litographs & TOG Design Contest
What?
Your opportunity to create a design to be used as the base for posters, t-shirts, and tote bags for an original Throne of Glass Litographs line of merchandise.

Guidelines:

– The winning design will be used as the main art for the release of Throne of Glass t-shirts, tote bags, and posters.

– Your design should be inspired by Throne of Glass, and/or speak to a key theme, or plot point, in the book. In other words, we want to be able to recall the book from your design. NO SPOILERS, GUYS.

—Your design must fit some general size and style qualifications as in the style guide on the side here (click for a larger image). That said, please do be creative!

– Your design should include graphics only. No text please (as the background will consist entirely of text!).
— Please do not use copyrighted images. All artwork should be your own creation.

Submit:
– Please submit only one design.

– Once your design is finished, use this typeform to submit your design and contact information. NOTE: Your design will later be posted to my Pinterest for voting.

– Important: By submitting an entry to this contest you grant rights to use this design in forthcoming merchandise, and in display and promotional materials. Please read the terms of service within the typeform for more information.

– All entries must be received no later than midnight PST on Friday, December 4th, 2015.
