I thought some of the very artistic people on this board might be interested in this from Sam Roberts:
Call For Artistic Submissions
In designing the album art for Love At The End Of The World, we decided to trim the fat and cut down on excess packaging materials. We don't like to create excess waste or use more paper, ink, plastic, than we need to. It was on this principle that the decision was made to break from our tradition and not include a booklet with the lyrics. As some of you already know, all of the lyrics to all of the songs on all of the albums are readily available at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.samrobertsband.com">http://www.samrobertsband.com</a><!-- m -->.
Here's our idea - we're requesting online artistic submissions from you. We are going to create a digital lyric booklet to accompany the Love At The End Of The World album. We'll provide it for free on our website, so those who want the lyrics can download them in PDF format as a digital booklet. Instead of just supplying you with the lyrics, we would like to include an image to accompany each song, ....and we want YOU! to provide them. They can be photographs, sketches, paintings - anything which you feel captures the essence of the music and words.
The image (and copyright control) must be yours, and we must have your permission to use it. Our committee of dedicated and impartial judges (i.e. the band), will choose 13 images from amongst your submissions. All you have to do to enter is email us an image at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:contact@samrobertsband.com">contact@samrobertsband.com</a><!-- e --> (please make the subejct DIGITAL BOOKLET), and let us know which song it's for. We'll be closing the doors on September 28, 2008.
One Love, The Band
