Vera Nazarian asked us to pass along the following information about a cover contest at Norilana Books:

Here's your chance to become a part of genre history!

Norilana Books is looking for a photo image of a warrior-like woman with a sword or other old-fashioned weapon, striking a martial arts pose, and dressed in an appropriate fantasy outfit (pre-industrial) to be used as part of a design for the cover of the upcoming volume of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress classic anthology series.

Get out those swords, go out there, get your friends to dress up in gorgeous costumes, strike up some fun warrior poses, and use your imagination! For best results photos should be full-body (as opposed to head shot or torso only), against a plain background (try to avoid too much background scenery).

Please submit your photos as a URL link via email to service AT norilana DOT com. DO NOT send attachments.

The winning photograph will be used as part of the cover image and you will receive credit in the book and a free contributor copy of the finished anthology.

Send in your entries now!

Deadline: August 10, 2008
