Meet the Artsy Fartsy Fans Who Won Tickets to See Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds are headed out on tour in a few months in support of Push the Sky Away, their excellent album from last year. The 18-date tour kicks off in Louisville, KY on June 16 and ends in Toronto on July 13. These days it's hard to get the jump on all the scalpers on Ticketmaster, so we figured we'd help you all out.

Last November, we asked everyone on Twitter to create new versions of any Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album cover. The five best submissions would win a pair of tickets that could be used for any of these selected dates. Every few weeks since then, we've been checking out the hashtag #COVERNICKCAVE to see the new art as it rolls in. The contest ended on January 12, and now it's time to announce the contest winners.

Here are VICE's five favorites:
