Jeff Howe is releasing his Crowdsourcing book over here in the UK and to celebrate has decided to hold a competition for people to design the cover of the book.

Creative Review say:

“Howe defines Crowdsourcing as “the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call”. So that’s what Random House and Creative Review are doing. In our Coversourcing competition, we want you, our readers, to create the cover design for the UK edition of Crowdsourcing. The winning design will be printed on the UK edition.”

The cover above is our favourite from Ace Jet170.
