Be a Cover Star
Last call for submissions to Marin Magazine’s
ninth annual cover contest. We are seeking
work from outstanding painters, illustrators and
photographers who live in, show in or create
images of the county. One lucky entrant will see
his or her art on our May 2015 cover and will
join other finalists whose work will also appear
in a feature story in the same issue. This is your
last chance to enter, so head to marinmagazine.
com/getcovered and show us your great work.
