I'm sure this idiom sounds familiar to you. However, I'm not going to elaborate more on the definition of this idiom. Rather, I would like to emphasize more on this two words, book and cover.
Yes, book and cover. Now what?
Ok, ok. Actually, Lydia Teh is organising a book cover design contest for her newest book, Do You Wear Suspenders? - The Wordy Tales of Eh Poh Nim. If you don't know who's Lydia, she's a famous Malaysian writer who has already came out with three books:
- Congratulations! You Have Won
- Life’s Like That - Scenes from Malaysian Life
- Honk If You’re Malaysian
Anyway, here is the challenge:
Please suggest the concept for a cover design based on the title. If you're not familiar with Eh Poh Nim, you can read some of the wordy tales at The Star's archieves. You don't have to draw the cover, a description in the comment box at this post (Contest: Do You Wear Suspenders) would sufficed. But if you are the artistic type and would like to express your idea in drawing, you can email it to Lydia.
Wonderful prizes are awaiting the winners! Are you curious yet?
1st prize: The winning concept will win RM100 book vouchers, an autographed copy of Do You Wear Suspenders and acknowledgement in the book.
Consolation: Three other participants will be selected by random draw to receive an an autographed copy of Do You Wear Suspenders.
Closing date
Friday, 3 October 2008
