With the exception of 2007 -- when the cover was designed by Amos Kennedy -- Black List covers have been an in house affair.

Think you can do better?

Then the Black List wants you to design its 2009 cover.

Your submission could serve as the official cover of the 2009 Black List, which will be distributed to voters on December 11, 2009 and beyond in the days that follow.

Images should be consistent with the Black List's goal of celebrating great screenwriting and the writers that do it. It should also reference the Black List by name and the year 2009.

Dimensions should be 8.5" by 11" with a resolution of at least 300 ppi. Remember too that many people will print the list to non-color printers, so ideally, color images should print well to B&W.

Beyond that, enjoy.
