newyorker:

The 2012 Eustace Tilley Contest

Eustace Tilley appeared on our first cover, in 1925. To celebrate our 87th anniversary, we invite readers to create a book-bag version of our iconic dandy. Twelve winners will be featured in a slide show curated by The New Yorker’s art editor, Françoise Mouly. One grand-prize winner will get their design printed on a Strand Bookstore tote bag and a $1,000 Strand shopping spree. The deadline to enter is midnight on January 18, 2012.

Above, a selection of winners from 2011. For more contest details and rules, and to see the winners from 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011: http://nyr.kr/xBHKtH
