Staff and faculty currently employed by SCSU and students enrolled part- or full-time during the submission period are eligible to submit their work. Entries from people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds are encouraged.
Judging
The criteria used for judging are two: the quality of the writing or visual and the appropriateness of the piece given the magazine's multicultural theme. Judges are unaware of the identities of writers, photographers, and artists during the review process and may not vote on their own submissions. Entries receiving the most votes are selected for publication. |
