I don't always (tbh, often, heh) agree with the winner of this competition, but the semifinals onwards are a great way to get a spotlight on self-pubbed fantasy that very often gets lost in the shuffle, and each year I've got 1 or 2 absolute gems I've really enjoyed from reading blurbs of said semis

The cover sits at the center of the image. At its center is a ancient golden medallion. In the center is a pictogram of a sitting man carrying something heavy on his back. Around him are rings of symbols and abstract designs. The medallion is also wreathed in flame. Behind the medallion are red feathers and sparks from the fire. The background of the image is a close up of a rooster's body showing just the crimson red and cobalt blue feathers.

The cover sits at the center of the image. It shows the inside of an impossibly huge library. Shelves reach to the arched ceiling, and stairs lined with books twist and turn on each side of the cover. Each stair's landing is lit with orbs of warm light covered in wrote iron filigree. Some of the shelves are decorated with owl carvings. At the center of the cover is a lone crow perched on the top of one of the bookcases. The background is a photo of library shelves framed by a a dark railing.

The cover sits at the center of the image. It shows a praying mantis-like creature riding on the back of a mutant fly. The mantis is readying an arrow with one set of hands and a spear with the other. They are flying through a barren land with rust colored clouds and sand blown mountains below. The background is an orange sand desert with bare rock hills rising behind it.
