cover art contest

We’re hosting our FIRST EVER cover art contest! Win a $150 cash prize, as well as the chance to be the featured cover artist for volume 02 of SAPP, when you submit your work from July 1-August 15, 2024.

Theme: mixtape. Capture the nostalgia of a mixtape that showcases a moment in time, or transcend time altogether by combining your memories in a unique way. We are looking for edgy, modern, and boundary-pushing art.

Our guest judge, Janet Kvammen, is a local mixed-media artist and the president of the Royal City Literary Arts Society. Her most recent exhibit, “Cascadian Rhythm Series,” was featured at the Crescent Beach Pop-Up gallery in June 2024. You can find more of her work on her Instagram.

Send your $3 entry fee and your submission to editor@sappzine.ca, with the subject as “YOUR NAME – COVER ART CONTEST”. Submissions will be judged blind and the winner will be announced in September.
