The Penguin Cover Design Award is your opportunity to take on the role of a book cover designer and build your portfolio. Encouraging all aspiring designers and illustrators in the UK and Ireland to enter the Penguin Cover Design Award, regardless of higher education status, The Penguin Cover Design Award is open to those who haven’t yet had significant experience in a paid creative role. If chosen, the winner will win a six-month mentorship with a designer in the Penguin Design Studios, as well as a design kit package worth £1000.
