Consequences - Spring 2005

Eye Contact invites submissions from students, faculty, and staff of area colleges. A blind judging process is used to evaluate works. Submissions must be previously unpublished, and Eye Contact reserves all publication rights for the issue in question.

Attach this information separately: title of work, your full name (no pseudonyms, please), current address, e-mail, telephone number, college, and a one-line biographical statement. Neither your name, nor any identifying entity, should appear on your entry.

THEME: Consequences. "Every action has an equal or opposite reaction," Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Cause and effect, a result, the product of a stimulus, an outcome, the conclusion—no story is complete without a conclusion. If life was a math equation (thank heavens it’s not!), the consequences would be the dependant variable. So everything we do in life has consequences. But what kind of consequences? You decide.

DEADLINE: Friday, February 25, 2005. Mail submissions to Eye Contact, c/o Seton Hill University, Box 246, Greensburg, Pa 15601 or literature may be e-mailed as rich text file (as text or .rtf files only) 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 be sure to include the title and page number on subsequent pages for your work. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) 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.

ART/ PHOTOGRAPHY: Entries are restricted to black-and-white works (color items received may be translated into b/w, or possibly selected 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 will not accept responsibility for work damaged in the mail. We cannot accept artwork via e-mail, but can receive floppy diskettes, Zip disks, or data CDs.
