DEADLINE: February 22nd, 2008.
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.
Mail submissions to Eye Contact, c/o Seton Hill University, Box 246, Greensburg, PA 15601. Literature submissions may be e-mailed as a rich text file (.rtf or as text files only -- all other file attachments will be deleted unread) and art files under 1mb may also be submitted to eyecontact@setonhill.edu
LITERATURE: Entries must be typed (double-spaced), with the title included in the upper left hand corner of each page. Individual poems are limited to two pages and prose should not exceed ten pages in length. Please include a SASE (self-addressed, stamped envelope) if you want your manuscript to be returned.If you submit your work electronically via e-mail, be sure to include all the required identifying information listed above in the body of the e-mail message or in a separately attached file.
ART/PHOTOGRAPHY: Entries are restricted to black and white works. (Occasionally, we can reproduce a color item in black and white, or select it as cover art). All art must have your name, address, e-mail, telephone number, media/medium, and title written on the back of the piece. Enclose a 3x5 card with your name, your college and a one-line biographical statement. Artwork will be returned by mail only if accompanied by appropriate postage. Eye Contact does not accept responsibility for work damaged in the mail. We can accept artwork via e-mail so long is the filesize is no larger than 1mb.
