Art Contest: Ulysses Recovered Book Cover Contest

Ulysses Recovered

Dark green book cover with embossed gold design depicting an earth-like planet quartered by hemispheric disks. Surrounding the planet and its cross-sections are small golden roman numerals similar to a clock face.To celebrate Bloomsday 2017, the James Joyce Quarterly, Booksmart Tulsa, and the Guthrie Green are sponsoring a contest to design a new cover for Joyce’s Ulysses.  We welcome entries in all languages and encourage experimentation with media, typography, and layout.  Select designs will be featured on the JJQ website and displayed as part of a special Bloomsday art exhibit in Tulsa’s Brady Arts District.  Awards will be given in two categories: most creative design and best overall design.  Winners will receive a cash award and their entries will be featured on forthcoming covers of the James Joyce Quarterly.
