Ever wanted to be part of a band’s release in a more meaningful way than being thanked in the liners of your friend’s demo tape?
Bluebottle Kiss in conjunction with M+N are giving you the chance to design the cover art for their forthcoming live album. The band are looking for an original photograph (ie. you must have snapped it yourself), which will appear on the album's back cover (ie. the place where the tracklisting is). All entries are welcome and the winner will be handpicked by the band.
To enter, simply post your photograph in the thread below using our “image” shortcut. Alternatively, email your full name and contact details to info@bluebottlekiss.com no later than February 4 competition is now closed.
UPDATE: And the winner is ... LoadMyRig. Snapped on a sidewalk in suburban Melbourne, her image will now appear on the back cover of the forthcoming Bluebottle Kiss live CD.

As someone whose living is made by designing I always get cheesy at design competitions. Either get a mate to do it or pay, i say.
As a music consumer this is one of the weaker stabs at publicity I have seen in a while.
nevermind that shit, are they release a new album or the long await live record?
I **NEED more Bluebottle Kiss.
I would happily post an image from my extensive collection of candid Bluebottle Kiss live daguerreotypes, but I am scared it would be deemed NSFW and result in a banning.
Oh, just read it's the live album, got a little carried away there. Carry on.
And please play some bloody shows again, thanks guys!
Give the winner the front cover. Geeze....
Nice touch Toad.
can't wait to hear this. gigs were goodly.
holy shit! Is that real?
of course its real. its the internets.
i'd be really impressed if they choose one of these joke pictures
Yes, put tokes' kitties on there.
Look, there's even room for the notes.
Ha, yes what an incredibly important and difficult job being a designer is. You arrange text and graphics. Big fucking deal. Anyone could do it. Everyone knows it. Designers are typically those wankers that refer to themselves as being ''creative'' or having ''artistic personalities''. When in reality, they're just paper pushers that use In Design or Solid Works or Illustrator. Hahahaha...
i've been teaching myself indesign for the last week. it's a nice piece o software.
the website says that it closes 31st jan.
we've given y'all an extension.

WINNER ANNOUNCED (see above).
toadphoney was the clear winner for me.
bwahaha.
Fucken rigged.
Yay Loadie!
HOORAY!
let me state that although i submitted the piccy and technically own it i suppose given that it was captured on my camera, september in fact snapped that shot on the day.
well done september!
this is very exciting.
FUCKING AWESOME LOADIE/SEPTEMBER!
honestly, in my heart, i'd have preferred the two cats win it. but congrats regardless. can you explain what was going on in the pic, or you prefer to keep a veil of mystery?
i was channeling a wookie with an AK-27 and september was pretending she was a cat with a magic wand.
What will you do with the prize money?

no no. that's not what happened at all. you drink too much. you are actually holding a rolled up kite in your hand. i am holding one of the sticks that go in the kite. further, we spent about 20 minutes assembling the kite on a short pier in mentone. there were a middle aged couple in matching tracksuits watching us assemble the kite and when it came time to give the kite it's maiden run we both sat on the pier muttering 'who do they think they are? can't they see we want to fly this kite in peace.' they wouldn't leave so we went further up the pier.
after 20 minutes of dragging the kite along the ground you finally worked out we'd tied the string on the wrong side of the kite. you undid it, re tied the string and then we had good kite times for about an hour.
then we got sick of the kite and rolled it up and went looking for our bikes. i am pretty sure you had my cousin's bike.
sorry, this is very boring.
anyway, we were pretty bent and could not remember where we hid the bikes and spent an hour looking through the bushes on the mentone beach bike track before we found them.
then we rode home and the kite stayed in the front yard for two weeks before i threw it in the bin. it was a essendon kite. i bought it from the two dollar shop. it was either that or the west coast eagles and i fucken hate that team.
i don't remember any of that.
i do have distant memories of you pointing a stick at things and yelling ''EXPELLIARMUS'' though. that must have been the same time.
I hear that part of the prize is a hot date with Jamie. Which of you is going to get that?
that spiel about the kite should also be on the back cover of the cd.
