Mirage is Now Accepting Submissions for Its 2009 Issue
Submissions will be accepted only from students at Cochise College and/or residents of Cochise or Santa Cruz Counties. All submissions must be the original work of the persons submitting them.
2. A single cover sheet must accompany submissions, listing all titles of works, as well as the submitter’s name, address, phone number, and email or fax. The cover sheet should also include a brief autobiographical statement of 75 words or less, written in the third person. No name should appear on the entry itself, as submissions will be evaluated anonymously. Entries must have a title.
3. Artwork and photographs must indicate dimensions and titles of the works and should, if necessary, include an arrow indicating which way is up. Digital format is preferred (email, compact disc, etc); slides are acceptable. If photographing original artwork for submission, the photographer should pay attention to lighting and orientation to prevent shadowing, glare, skewing, unintentional cropping, etc.
4. No submissions will be returned.
5. Submissions in poetry and prose must be typed. Prose should be double spaced. Single spacing is permissible for poetry. Font should be Courier or Times New Roman. Unless unique formatting is integral to the piece, all literary works should be left justified, and all-cap letters should not be employed.
6. There is a 2,000 word limit for prose entries, and a limit of five submissions per person in art or writing.
7. Mirage encourages digital submissions. Digital literary submissions must be Microsoft Word document files. Digital art submissions must be sent as files at 300 DPI or higher and at 100% of their original size.
NOTE: The staff of Mirage reserves the right to revise the language, correct the grammar or punctuation, revise the formatting, or abridge the content of any literary work—which includes the brief biographies of artists, poets, and authors. The staff also reserves the right to crop, resize, or modify works of visual art submitted to the magazine in any way deemed necessary to ready them for inclusion in the magazine.
