We’re asking professional and student nail technicians to submit slides or digital images of their most spectacular nails. The winning image will appear on NAILS’ January 2009 cover, and the winning nail tech will be featured in a behind-the-scenes interview. Runner-up images will also be presented inside the magazine.

Your submissions may feature natural or artificial nails, hands and/or feet, and may include props. In addition to the quality of the nails, entries will be judged on their overall creativity, composition, and visual appeal. Keep in mind that the cover image will need to fit into our vertical format with room for the NAILS logo and coverlines.

All entries must be postmarked by Friday, October 3, 2008.
