Faithful readers of this site with longer attention spans than those who run it probably recall that we recently ran a contest to provide an alternate cover or marketing spiel for On Stranger Tides, the prize for which was a copy of the book, and the deadline for which was March 31st.
Well, what with the launch of MojoX as well as any number of lame excuses I'd be happy to make up, we neglected to post the results of the contest. That omission ends today. The lucky winner was Krasimir Savov, who came up with this cover for his entry. Congratulations, Krasimir, and we hope you enjoy the book! (Given the international shipping I opted for, please allow 6-18 months for delivery.)
Honorable mentions include (in no order): this cover by Fealiks, this cover by JezzaTheLagomorph, this cover by Valkian, these "system requirements" by Euan Mumford, and this marketing write-up by Icebox.
Thanks to everyone who entered! We were amused.
Also, what font was the title of the winning entry written in? Is it the same one Terry Pratchett's covers use? (it's a great cover btw)
Post a fish, win an iPad!
The winner entry is very cool indeed and the cover by Fealiks is quite awesome. "System Requirements" is great.
Nice contest Mojo, when are you giving away an iPad?
