What is the prize?   

Luchetti has created the perfect sketchbook!  A sketchbook with 3oo lb 100% cotton paper that lays flatter than traditional “lay-flat” bound sketchbooks.  I bought 2 of these, one cold press, one hot press.  And I love them!  I’ve tried many, many brands of sketchbooks, and this is by far the best.  Amazing quality, no gutters in the middle of the book.  Truly lays flat… and it can handle a LOT of water!
Two random participants will receive one cold-press sketchbook.  YOU will love it!  https://www.luchetti.co/products/luchetti-true-flat-sketchbook-8×8

Soon, Luchetti will release their smaller sketchbook, 5X5 inch square.  I cannot wait!
