As I live at a distance, I would mail in my entry. What would be the postmarked deadline for entries? I am also not really sure what you are looking for with regard to the subject matter. Should the words “summer of love” be part of the design? You also mention album - sized artwork. Are you looking for new designs of psychedelic record albums?
Thank you.
Valery.

Valery,
Thank you for your response. Please, by all means, mail your entries. We hope to receive the entries by May 31. The theme should be your interpretation of The Sixties movement. Perhaps it is psychedelic in some way, a replica of your favorite Beatles album, some sort of political stance, or whatever you would like. It is open to interpretation.
Sarah
