See your agency’s design on the cover of Minnesota Monthly!
Our June issue will feature summer in Minnesota—the must-do activities, drives, and eats for the summer of 2012, and we are inviting local agencies to help us kick off summer with a kick-ass cover.
Cover theme suggestions:
• What summer means to Minnesotans
• A representation of summer
• What you love about summer
Don’t miss this chance to design the cover of Minnesota Monthly and showcase your agency’s work. Plus, the winner will receive $1,000, be mentioned in the issue, included in our monthly publicity efforts, and receive a framed copy to display! All finalists will be showcased on MNMO.com and on our Facebook page.
