Uppercase is looking for participants to redesign your favorite LP cover (or CD). There is very little info other than that, but I am assuming it is for the chance to have your design published in their next issue? Anyway, I will definitely be at least doing one submission. Deadline is Sept. 1st. Click through and scroll down for submission info.
