Hot Press has teamed up with ABSOLUT for a unique collaboration giving you the opportunity to design your own Hot Press cover. The ultimate winner will get the opportunity to create a cover that will feature on newsstands across Ireland and abroad! The closing date is this Monday, March 14, so get your entries in to [email][email protected][/email] by end of play on Monday.

The subject of your initial cover submission is up to you. The objective is to thrill us, impress us – and inspire us to shortlist you! It might be your favourite artist, or indeed any other interpretation of the design brief. Photoshop it, draw it, paint it, photograph it, scribble it, design it – create it. The look and feel of what you submit is entirely up to you!

There is a fascinating story behind every Hot Press cover. They reflect the stories that were important as the magazine developed, as well as the changing life and times of Ireland – and indeed of the world! – over the past 34 years.

Now it’s your chance to get inspired and become a part of the history of Hot Press cover stories. So, impress us with what YOU think would be a brilliant magazine cover that would jump off the shelves!

ABSOLUT is a creative brand with creative communication, and for years people have enjoyed seeing interpretations of ABSOLUT made by some of the world’s leading artists and designers. Ever since Andy Warhol made a painting interpreting the iconic bottle, artists have collaborated with ABSOLUT, interpreting the bottle in a very personal way.

Yet the ABSOLUT tradition is not only to collaborate with the big stars of today but also with the talents of tomorrow... and that’s where you come in.
