Aye, there's a contest. Register a profile and vote on at least 5 duels to enter. At the end of the month, we'll draw a random winner of a 20$ amazon gift card.

The rank of the cover you chose will rise, while the rank of the losing cover will fall. How much the ranks rise and fall depends on the rank the book covers had coming into the duel. If a lower ranked cover wins, it rises more than the higher ranked cover would have if it had won.
