To celebrate the upcoming 60th anniversary of Ray Bradbury’s iconic classic Fahrenheit 451, the public was invited to design a new cover, which will be featured on the first printing of the 60th anniversary edition. Matthew Owen won the Fahrenheit 451 cover design contest from Simon & Schuster and the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom. I love this idea and wish there were more contests for classic cover redesigns. Maybe then we wouldn’t have covers that leave people a little disgruntled and confused?
The winning cover was revealed at the ALA Midwinter Meeting. Owen’s cover beat out more than 360 submissions that were chronicled on this blog. It’s actually fun to scroll through the other entries and see the various interpretations of this classic piece of literature. Simon & Schuster and the Bradbury estate judged the entries.
