In May we asked you lot to design a cover for Maiden Heaven, our forthcoming world exclusive Iron Maiden tribute album. We were deluged with hundreds of pieces of brilliant artwork, but sadly there can only be one winner.
Step forward Felipe Franco of Bogota, Colombia, who wowed the judges with his entry, which depicts Eddie as a fallen angel.
"This is the best news!" says Felipe. "This is the second Iron Maiden artwork contest I've won! I won a competition earlier this year, commemorating Iron Maiden's first Colombian concert at Bogota's Simon Bolivar Park on February 28.
"Thanks for coming up with contests like this," he adds. "It promotes art in the metal scene, something that goes hand-in-hand with our way of life. Up the Irons!"
In addition to having his artwork adorn the cover of Maiden Heaven, Felipe receives a free annual subscription to Kerrang!.
Kerrang! thanks everyone who took part in the artwork competition.
Maiden Heaven, which features 15 world exclusive recordings of classic Iron Maiden anthems by some of Kerrang!'s favourite bands, will be available free only with the July 19 issue of Kerrang!.
For the full track-listing see next week's issue of the magazine. You won't believe the bands we've got lined-up, for what is undoubtedly the greatest CD ever given away free!
Fucking sick, I'm excited!!
