It was a close call, but I am so happy to announce we have a winner for the cover design for the #Emerging Proud commemorative print, to mark the international launch on 12th May 2017…

Liisa Ekosaari from Finland submitted her spectacular image entitled ‘Emergence’ which beautifully captures the essence of the campaign; thank you Liisa, and congratulations from the #Emerging Proud community; very well deserved ❤

Here is how the limited edition print will look; an A4 perfect bound hardback book, printed in full colour throughout with inner pages on 150gsm silk, with Liisa’s spellbinding cover printed onto 350gsm with gloss laminate finish.

This very special book will feature the personal stories, pictures and encouraging ‘notes to reader’ from all of the brave souls who have #Emerged Proud to date, in a bid to create a safer world for people to speak out openly about anomalous experiences. (The deadline for book submissions is now closed, but we are still welcoming stories for the blog of course, so please do share yours! Go HERE to find out how.)

A very close 2nd in the competition was Tee Clare from New York, will his beautiful image entitled ‘Placerville’, which will feature on the back of the commemorative print; thank you Tee! ❤

A very special thank you to all of you who submitted your artwork for the cover, and for the campaign so far – they will ALL feature on a display screen at the LAUNCH EVENT IN LONDON on 12th May!
