The lucky winner will have their artwork fronting an "Australian only" single, which will feature exclusive live b-sides from Metallica's first show at the Big Day Out in Brisbane. The tracks will be mixed and mastered in a matter of days, and released in February 2004. All four finalists' artwork will be featured in an exclusive poster insert to be included in the single. The cover and tracklist are below.
