Last week, Pixies announced their first album since 1991, Indie Cindy. Now they have launched a competition for fans to create artwork for the LP to be used as a limited-edition lithograph print, offered as a bonus item for those who purchase the effort at independent record shops, NME reports. The winner of the contest will be offered a $500 cash prize and a copy of the design autographed by the band.
The members of the band (Black Francis, Joey Santiago, David Lovering) and their art director Vaughan Oliver will judge the contest, which ends April 10, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
The suggested themes and style guidelines are as follows:
"You're mission is to design an 11"x17" (279mm x 432mm) PIXIES-inspired lithograph to celebrate the release of the new album 'Indie Cindy'.
Designers MUST incorporate one of the logos (available here) and the album title 'Indie Cindy' - everything else should be a product of your own creativity and ingenuity. Feel free to use some of the track titles from the new album as additional inspiration but this is not required."
Consult the full rules here.
