The Rules

• NO PURCHASE OF ANY KIND IS REQUIRED TO ENTER THE HOT GUYZ PATROL BOOK COVER CONTEST
• By entering your book covers in Affaire de Coeur’s Hot Guyz Patrol Contest, you give Affaire de Coeur express permission to use your book cover in their magazine and their online websites.
• All book covers must be your own original book cover, not the property of another individual or company. All genres are accepted for the Affaire de Coeur’s Hot Guyz Patrol Book Cover Contest.
• When you e-mail the copy of your cover art, please include your name, address, and titles of the books you are entering in the contest. The information will be needed to contact you. If you are using a pen name or pen names, please let us know which book goes with which pen name.
• Submitting book covers that are copyrighted to someone other than yourself will not only disqualify you from the Hot Guyz Patrol Contest, but you will be responsible for any legal actions the copyright holder might take against you.
• All book covers must be in English. By submitting a book cover you grant us permission to publish your book cover in Affaire de Coeur and its affiliated websites. You also permit us to edit the book cover, if needed, to make it more acceptable for the pages where it will be placed. We reserve the right not to publish any book cover that we deem unsuitable for the publication.
• You agree to allow us to use your name (or pen name), book title, and cover along with your home state/country if you win or place in the Affaire de Coeur’s Hot Guyz Patrol Contest. Your e-mail address will be kept private and will never be given or sold to a third party.
• Please let us know what information you would prefer with your book cover (or more importantly, what information you do not want with your book cover) so we do not infringe upon your privacy in any way.
• Unused entries will not be returned or used without the express permission of the owner.
• Submitted book cover art will be displayed on our contest pages until a winner has been determined.

Things That Will Assist You in Winning the Affaire de Coeur’s Hot Guyz Patrol Contest (as Well as Our Eternal Gratitude)
