Two Plus Two Newer Archives - And the Winner Is:

Hi Everyone:

Here are the results of our cover contest. But first, I want to thank all who participated. There's no doubt that we got more quality covers than we can have winners, and I'm sure our selections will create lots of discussion. So here goes:

And the winner for Professional No-Limit Hold 'em: Volume I by Matt Flynn, Sunny Mehta, and Ed Miller is Gonso with this design.

We need a couple of fixes which we would like you (Gonso) to do in a post below. First, use the Roman Numeral "I" instead of the word "one" and numeric "1". Second, on the back cover put the author names underneath the title, and then leave the rest of the back cover in the basic cover design. Author pictures, bar code, Two Plus Two logo, Verbage boxes, etc. will be dropped in at our printer.

Your prize will be $500 plus a Two Plus Two shirt. To get the shirt go to https://www.conjelco.com/twoshirts/t...two_shirts.php and decide which color and size you want. Then send me a private message where you include the shirt information, your email, and a phone number that I can reach you at. We'll need to talk to you about how to get the cover downloaded to our printer, and you'll probably be talking to our printer as well. In addition, we'll also be using your design when Volume II comes out and you'll get another $500 there as well.

And the winner for Sit 'n Go Strategy by Collin Moshman is OMGuraBot with this design.

We need a couple of fixes which we would like you (OMGuraBot) to do in a post below. They are:

1. Reverse the apostrophe. It should be in a comma position with the tail part down.

2. We would like only the first letter in each word in the title to be capitalized. Also, the "n" in the word 'N needs to be lower case.

3. The words on the chip need to be a brighter color. White might work or perhaps a different color.

4. The heart symbol and the diamond symblo on the chip should be red.

5. We need the title and subtitle at the top of the back cover with a "by Collin Moshman" on the line underneath.

6. Leave the rest of the back cover in the basic cover design. Author pictures, bar code, Two Plus Two logo, Verbage boxes, etc. will be dropped in at our printer.

Your prize will be $500 plus a Two Plus Two shirt. To get the shirt go to https://www.conjelco.com/twoshirts/t...two_shirts.php and decide which color and size you want. Then send me a private message where you include the shirt information, your email, and a phone number that I can reach you at. We'll need to talk to you about how to get the cover downloaded to our printer, and you'll probably be talking to our printer as well.

And the winner for World Class High Stakes and Short-Handed Limit Hold 'em by Ray Zee and David Fromm with Alan Schoonmaker is RoxySurfergirl00 with this design.

We really liked the three faces, and we would like for you to reproduce this cover in a post below with the new title and authors. Also Your prize will be $500 plus a Two Plus Two shirt. To get the shirt go to https://www.conjelco.com/twoshirts/t...two_shirts.php and decide which color and size you want. Then send me a private message where you include the shirt information, your email, and a phone number that I can reach you at. We'll need to talk to you about how to get the cover downloaded to our printer, and you'll probably be talking to our printer as well.

Since we have so many good covers, we have also decided to hold three covers in reserve for possible future use on Two Plus Two books. This is something we didn't announce in our initial contest. So for each of these designers will get a payment from us of $200 now, and then an additional $300 if and when we do use the cover. In addition, each of you gets to pick a Two Plus Two shirt.

So our reserve winners are (in no particular order):

Richark K with

Stuey with

and Gonso with

To get the shirt go to https://www.conjelco.com/twoshirts/t...two_shirts.php and decide which color and size you want. Then send me a private message where you include the shirt information, your email, and a phone number that I can reach you at. We'll need to talk to you about how to get the cover downloaded to our printer, and you'll probably be talking to our printer as well. In addition, the version that we'll probably download at our printer will be a generic version with no title or lettering on it.

Finally, I want to recognize all the other designers who participated in this contest. They are:
