• All requests for art should be submitted to
  podparty by September 5th in order to be added to the official match-up post.

• You have the option of collaborating with an artist from the start-you might try seeking an artist with similar interests and choosing a fic for the challenge together.

Artists

• Your mission is to make an artistic contribution to the podfic. This contribution may come in the form of designing a podfic cover (300x300 pixel minimum, multiple covers welcome if you're ambitious), providing sound effects, incorporating musical selections, composing an original score, creating a podfic trailer or vid, or fulfilling some other creative request.
• All offers for art will be held in the moderation queue until official match-ups/claiming begins on September 6th.

• You have the option of collaborating with a podficcer from the start-you might try seeking a podficcer with similar interests and choosing a fic for the challenge together.
