Bit & Paard Verzameld Cover Competition 2021 | Closed
CALLING ALL EQUINE ARTISTS!
Last year, Dutch artist Cath Driessen's foal shone on the front cover of equestrian magazine Bit. After the success of last years competition, where around 150 artists submitted their best work to feature as the magazine cover, Bit decided to partner up with Paard Verzameld again for a new cover competition!
ART ON THE COVER!
One of the highlights of 2020 was without a doubt the Bit & Paard Verzameld Cover Competition, where Bit took a break from the norm and invited artists to create the cover. Art directors and editors often use beautiful photography for their magazine covers but why not think out of the box for a change and look at an illustration, watercolor, a paper collage, an linocut, drawing, painting or even a textile piece to grace the cover!
That's why we are calling all equine artists to create work, based on the theme, fit to shine on the cover of the largest equestrian magazine of the Benelux. Read the terms and conditions below.
