All cover submissions must be submitted by April 1st each year in order to be considered for that year’s contest. Any covers submitted during the month of April will be considered for the following year’s contest. Winners will be chosen and announced on Diabolic Shrimp’s live Shrimpy Awards show on May 1st of each year.
One cover winner will be chosen each year. They will receive $25 (USD), a Shrimpy Award to use in their own marketing and promotion, and their cover will be displayed on Diabolic Shrimp’s Shrimpy Awards page!
All submissions will carry over to the following years and will be considered, regardless if they won or not in a previous year.
Submissions with adult themes may not be displayed to the public, but will still be considered.
Submitting something does not guarantee that you win anything.
All contest judgements are final and entirely subjective.
In order to submit to the cover contest, you must promote one of Josh Grant’s books (this can be a simple social media post or just a mention to a friend), OR read any portion of one of Josh Grant’s books on KU if you happen to subscribe to that. Books are found HERE on Amazon.
To submit your cover, attach your cover in an email to Josh Grant’s email, or reach out letting us know you’d like to submit a cover for the contest on Diabolic Shrimp’s Contact page and I’ll send you an email to attach your cover to!
