Theme: REVELATION. The theme can be related to an eye-opening experience, a truth-spilling session (reminiscent of Moment of Truth), or a dream induced exposé. It does not have to be confined to religious references. Apocalyptic adventures or the revealing of secrets are just a few examples of what can be done with this topic. Use your imagination. We want you to be open with your creativity in tackling this theme. But please hurry with your submissions; the countdown to the end has begun.

The Fall 06-Spring 07 issue of Eye Contact received a "First Place with Special Merit" certificate from the American Scholastic Press Association. This juried award is based on a point-by-point analysis of the issue in comparison to other college magazines in the country. Congratulations to last year's staff!

EYE CONTACT: DEADLINE EXTENDED!
Submissions Wanted on Special Theme Issue, "Genesis"
LESS THAN A WEEK LEFT TO SUBMIT!
Due to a low number of submissions, the deadline for submitting writing and art to Eye Contact: The Literary/Art Magazine of Seton Hill University has been extended to SUNDAY OCTOBER 28th.
This term's issue will focus loosely on the theme of "GENESIS." This does not just refer to the first book of the Bible (though submissions on that topic are certainly welcome). By "genesis" we mean beginnings. Birth, dawn, origins, creations, and new formations are all applicable subject matter. Or perhaps you associate the word "genesis" with something else. BE AS CREATIVE AS YOU LIKE!
HOW TO SUBMIT:
See guidelines in a blog entry below. Due to the immediate need for material, e-mail submissions are preferred. Literature submissions may be e-mailed as a rich text file (.rtf or as text files only); artists may also submit digitized art or thumbnails (less than 1mb in size please) to eyecontact@setonhill.edu. Or mail submissions at least 24 hours before the deadline to Eye Contact at Campus Box 246.
SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE THIS SUNDAY OCT 28th by MIDNIGHT.
Next semester's "theme" will be REVELATIONS with a mid-February deadline. We look forward to considering your creative work!

Theme: GENESIS. A new year. A new staff. A new beginning. Before you get excited, this issue is in no way connected to Phil Collins or the game system. BUT, ideas such as birth, dawn, origins, creations, formation, and beginnings are all applicable subject matter. Be as creative as you like, as long as you focus on the aforementioned theme.

EYE CONTACT, the campus literary magazine, is hosting an "all staff meeting" on Monday, 9/17/07 at 4pm in the Publications Office (Lower Level of Sullivan Hall).
Anyone interested in helping with judging manuscripts later in the term or joining the staff of the magazine in the future is welcome to attend. Spread the word. Creative Writing majors are especially welcome to join us. We do have most positions staffed, but we can always use more help. We are also seeking a new Business Manager this year and an assistant Art editor.
If you just want to SUBMIT to the magazine, we have a special theme this semester: GENESIS. Guidelines will be coming soon. Keep your eyes on http://blogs.setonhill.edu/EyeContact/ for details.
