Hi everyone
So sorry it has taken me a while to get this set up - I have been away, enjoying the South African bush for a short while. A massive thank you so much for voting for my album cover last week. I am honoured to host Album Cover Challenge 66, which starts today.
If you are new to 365 or to this challenge, the album cover challenge is an excellent opportunity to use those photos lurking in the archives and to edit to your heart’s content! It is very creative!
Here's how to get the information for your album cover:
1. Go to Wikipedia and choose the link for "Random Article" on the top left side of the page. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your musician(s) or band.
2. Go to Quotations Page and choose "Random Quotes" from the left menu. Scroll down to the end of the page. The last 4 to 6 words of the very last quote on the page are the title of your album.
3. Next, find or take a photo of yours that fits the album name and artist(s). Album covers are square, so don't forget to crop it.
4. Then, use your favorite editing programme to create your cover (or, if you don't have one, Ace members have free access to picmonkey.com -- and there are many other free programmes out there). You can use any image for the album cover, old or new, but you must use your own images and do all processing for the cover during the time frame of the challenge.
5. You can enter multiple times.
6. Tag your entries: albumcoverchallenge66
In addition to tagging your image, please post your album to this thread, too. It helps keep this thread active and inspires others when they see the creativity out there! That means it will show up on the discussion lists to the right of the home page. It also helps bring in more participants!
To post a photo on this thread:
1) Go to your page that has the photo you would like to post.
2) Click on the three dots (...) just below the bottom right of your picture.
3) Find the 'Embed Code' box and right click on it to copy it, then paste it to this thread.
Timeframe
Challenge 66 begins today, Monday 4th July and ends Monday 18th July at midnight, GMT. Finalists will be chosen and posted on Tuesday 19th July, voting will be open until Friday 22nd July, and the winner will be announced shortly thereafter.

Feel free to post your artist and album names to this thread when you've got them.
If you have any questions or need help getting started, just post to this thread. Looking forward to seeing your amazing, creative album covers!
