Results tagged “2007”
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!

Not sure what the difference is between "tags" and "keywords"... but I'll add some below.
