Vote for People’s Cover 2016!

For the past two weeks, we have been putting up three of the most-liked magazines covers from the Stack Instagram, and getting people to vote for their favourite. The best response goes home with a year’s subscription to Stack, so we have seen everything from emoji essays to heartfelt haikus — thank you to everyone who’s been participating.

Yesterday, the December covers battled it out, and Lyra came out on top. Abby’s hilarious response found the breed on the cover of Four & Sons’, so a year-long subscription is hers!

Now, it’s time for the grand round of voting. Here are the most popular covers from each month of 2016, scroll through them and vote for the one you think should win the coveted title of ‘People’s Cover of 2016’. The most funny, weird or heartfelt response will win the last year-long Stack subscription we’re giving away, so get tweeting and commenting on Facebook! We’re also extending the voting until after Christmas on 28 December, when we’ll announce the winners.
