The final edit definitely looks better than the initial one. I'm really glad they cropped it and changed the "Avril Lavigne" font and both fonts' positions a little. I kinda like how the red of Avril's dress flows into the red of the background, though the editing of this effect is better in the final version.
However, I'm not a fan of Avril's pose (though I'm aware that this isn't something an edit could change, lol) and even though I think I get what the forest in the background is supposed to stand for, I'm not a fan of that either. I don't like the chosen fonts much either. I can't even exactly say why; I don't think there's necessarily something wrong with using a basic font, especially when you combine it with an artistic one. But those two, idk, I just don't like them too much. I wish Avril / her team would go back to choosing one or two fonts for her name and the song/album title and then reuse those on every cover of that era. Like they did for example during UMS era (with the exception of DTM). That way you easily see which singles belong together. This era, however, they seem to change the whole style/design with every new single they release. It's like they're completely indecisive (they seem to be about the entire era, tbh).
Anyway, overall, even though I've definitely seen edits out there that I found more interesting, I think the winning cover is alright and I'm happy for the person who won and feel sorry for all the criticism they get (I really hope they don't take it personal!).

I think it‘s completely fine that some people don‘t like the cover. I mean.. over 6000 entries. It‘s completely obvious that not everyone was going to agree. I personally like the cover but still.. there is something that doesn‘t work with it. Something seems to be odd with it. I don‘t know. But the comments on IG.. dude.. that‘s another level of rudeness. The comment section over there is so incredibly toxic that I decided not to read them anymore. Anyway.. congrats to the winner.

Was just about to write it about that, its really the awkward pose that limited what was feasible to do with the cover. Also, regarding the 'theme' (forest), weren't most covers of hers rather "whatever" on symbolism? I mean, she was crouching infront of a junk rostfrei sheet of metal for Complicated, she was doing a floor selfie for Don't Tell Me, and she looked like a domestic abuse victim for Here's for Never Growing Up.

Yikes, people are really dragging the winner in the comments. I mean I think what we’re saying here is a bit different because we’re keeping it strictly here, a small website hardly anyone visits and the winner is unlikely to see it. But publicly on Avril’s IG is just a whole other level of rudeness, I’d certainly never say anything bad in the comments where I know they’d see it.
Thank god they fixed that awful font choice. And apparently they fixed some of the editing as well. I’m sorry but I think it says a lot that there are an overwhelming amount of negative comments about the winning entry, even aside from the garden variety “there were better entries” comments that you’d expect. I mean not everyone will like the winning entry but the fact there’s so many comments saying it shouldn’t have won I think says a lot. It’ll be interesting to see which entries were chosen for the merch. Maybe they chose some more “out there” kinds of things that would look better on a shirt than a CD cover. I do understand why I think they wanted to go with something a little more straightforward and simple for the cover. There were a lot of entries that were either just plain bad or had too much going on. This wasn’t the best entry I saw but certainly not the worst. And I like it better than the HAW single cover (TMIO I think is the best so far this era though).

What I don’t understand is why they chose that as the winner but then made edits before releasing it. They obviously didn’t think it was good the way it was so why not choose someone else?

Copyright reasons most likely. From the legal perspective it's not like you just can give someone your work for 1000 dollars and never clam more money in the future.

They're focusing all that outrage at the wrong subject. Use this time to ask for the music video or tour plans not to drag some picture. Ask Avril to finally give us something we want instead.
I don't see the cover on Spotify. Is it on Apple Music and others?

Oh fuck. In the end of July. She won't put out a music video until probably then.
