- IMPACT (execution and quality of the overall design)
- PRESENTATION (must be presented clean and neatly, flat or on a small easel).
Original illustrations and photographs encouraged. Designers using movie stills (e.g. Pinhead, Leatherface, etc.) must use an illustration or treat the photo.

Pingback: Tweets that mention Think you've got the chops to design a Rue Morgue cover? Well, there's a contest for that. Details at: -- Topsy.com
Lame. Canadian magazine competition only open to those attending a US event… Would have been a fun competition to participate in otherwise.
All the info from the flier is duplicated in the text below it. There’s also a slightly larger version on the contests page” http://rue-morgue.com/x_contests.php
Sorry that the contest is limited to Frightmare attendees, but that was the concept — to create something specifically for that show. There are loads of other contests on right now if you follow that link above.
Cheers.
OH HAPPY DAY!!! i’ve been waiting for a contest like this and thankfully i do live in Texas AND will be attending TFW!!! my dream job is to work for RM, so maybe this could be my foot in the door?
cya Guys @ TWF!!!

Are you allowed to enter more than one design?
Thanks!
Hey, I’m always missing out on the cool events you guys have going on way up in Canada, so I’m psyched to see RM in my neck of the woods for a change! Whoo-hoo!
this sounds so like so much fun, I was so for it till I read the end when it said you had to attend which sucks for a broke ass college student…crap! =(
@Wendy glad to see someone else in Texas is as excited about the RM cover contest as I am! I added you on Twitter (mine is twitter.com/kellyhammond) and “Like” your FB page.
Maybe we can meet up @ TFW? Its always great to meet other horror fans, esp. in Texas.
Hey guys, it’s been great seeing all of the interest in our contest! There’s really no restrictions on how many designs you can enter, but you would only be eligible to win one prize. Looking forward to seeing the entries and good luck!
I got very excited for my bf when I seen this contest. Hes an amazing artist. But then I realized its for people attending Texas Frightmare.
. U guys should do a contest that isnt just for that. You guys are missing out on a lot of great talent that arent going.
