Venus febriculosa is a blog dedicated to books and book design with an emphasis on the twentieth century and concentrated primariliy on the works of Vladimir Nabokov. Following on the heels of our successful Book Cover Design Contest #1 in which we challenged readers to generate compelling visuals for Vladimir Nabokov’s legendary 1955 novel LOLITA, this time we turn for inspiration to Umberto Eco’s "postmodern" 1980 novel THE NAME OF THE ROSE. One submission per entrant. Copyrights of all entries shall remain the property of the artists. This contest is open to anyone 18 years or older anywhere in the world. There's no entry fee.
