If you’ve been following our Facebook Page last week, I announced that I will be one of the judges for a competition that Gallic Books (UK) is running to celebrate the success of the Claude Izner Murder Mystery book series!
Set in the heart of nineteenth century France, these page-turning novels follow the adventure of Victor Legris, a young Parisian bookseller and amateur sleuth as he unravels a series of gruesome killings and shocking crimes.
Claude Izner is the nom de plume (pen name) of two sisters that still operate as booksellers on the banks of the Seine and are experts on nineteenth-century Paris. But for this competition, we want to see YOUR Paris.
1) The entire Victor Legris series (Murder on the Eiffel Tower, The Père Lachaise Mystery, The Montmartre Investigation, The Marais Assassin and The Predator of Batignolles)
2) 1 x Conté a Paris Sketching & Drawing Kit
3) 1 x Winsor & Newton Drawing Ink Collection
4) 1 x Artists’ Water Colour Sable Brush Set
To be in the running to win the entire Victor Legris series as well as the above fantastic art materials courtesy of Winsor & Newton, just email over your illustrative interpretation of the French capital by 26 November to riona@all-leo.com.
More information can be found here, so perhaps now is the time to revisit Paris? 😉
well, thought I live in Paris and find this contest very interesting, I’m afraid I won’t have enough time to participate !
those are some interesting prizes!
I live in Chile though, is it only for europeans, or north-americans?
It’s open to everyone Antonia!
are there complete rules/submission guidelines anywhere? i couldn’t find any on Gallic’s site. do you know if are there specific parameters for file type/size if submitting via email?
whatever happened with this contest? never saw any results on their blog or yours.
