Murphy Square Accepting Submissions NOW

Augsburg's Literary and Visual Arts Journal is accepting submissions NOW through January 18, 2013 for the 2013 edition of Murphy Square.

We accept all submissions of art, poetry, or prose as long as they are original works by an enrolled Augsburg student, staff or faculty member.

All art that is not digital MUST be photographed and formatted at a resolution of 300ppi. Photography and digital art must also be high resolution at 300ppi. Visual arts submissions must be submitted in either .jpg or .tif format. No .pdf or .psd files will be accepted.

Any work of prose or poetry must have a title and must be submitted in a Microsoft Word .doc or .docx file or .rtf for a non-Word document. The file name MUST match the name of the work. Only one piece per file; please do not save two or more works in a single file as it gets confusing during the selection process!

Email murphysquare@augsburg.edu or teodonno@augsburg.edu if you have any questions or need help in submitting.
