In celebration of National Pizza Month, PMQ Pizza Magazine will hold a cover design contest for artists and photographers – with a $500 cash prize for the winner!

The contest is open to anyone with a talent for the arts, including fine art, photography and illustration. Send in your original artwork or photographs with a strong, positive pizza theme for consideration. We'll publish the winner's work on our October 2018 cover and award that person $500 cash.

The deadline for entry is Saturday, September 1, 2018. Send entries to art@pmq.com.

Contest rules:

To be considered for publication, images must be provided at a minimum size of 8.5" x 11" at a resolution of 300 dpi.

Illustration color comps will be considered in lieu of finished art. However, the winning artist must be available to meet the final art deadline.

Previously published art and photographs are acceptable, providing artist retains republishing rights and grants those rights to PMQ, Inc.

The winning artist must sign a waiver granting PMQ Inc. limited rights to publish the winning art in print and online, for editorial and promotional usage.
