Penguin Books competition for teens

Cynopsis reports Penguin has inked a partnership with Piczo, the UK-based teen targeted social networking website, for MyPenguin, a contest that launches this week on the site. Penguin asked some top bands to select their favorite classic book, which of course are Penguin books, and teens are asked to design their own cover art for the books that they can then upload to www.piczomypenguin.piczo.com.

The bands will be the judges. As for what bands chose what classic novels, here are a few: Ryan Adams selected Dracula; Razorlight's pick is Great Gatsby; Beck's is Le Grand Meaulnes; and Dragonette chose Alice in Wonderland.
