Submission Guidelines:

Manuscripts - Original stories, poems, essays, translations, features, sketches, humor, satire, interviews, reviews and short plays must be typed, paper clipped at the upper left corner and in an envelope. All manuscripts, except poetry, must be double-spaced. Every page of the manuscript must list the title and page number in the upper right corner. It is recommended that all manuscripts be submitted in Times New Roman 12 point font. The author’s name must NOT appear on the manuscript or on the envelope. Please include a CD-R or disposable flash drive containing each submission saved in Word, and please label the disk or drive with your name and the title(s) of your work(s).

Artwork - Black & white/color photographs and pen and ink drawings work best in this format, but pencil drawings, collages and paintings will be considered. All original work should be submitted in a plain manila envelope. The artist’s name must NOT appear on the work. Graphic submissions should not exceed 8 x 12 inches (larger works will NOT be considered). Please include a CD-R or disposable flash drive with digital photography submissions. Please note that the original print will be the only copy reviewed during the selection process. All graphic submissions should include a simple mark indicating the title of the work and the orientation of the work on the backside of the print. When work submitted is a study of, or is otherwise dependent upon, another artist’s work, please supply the other artist’s name and that work’s title.

All submissions MUST be accompanied by one 3 x 5 card for each genre. The card should include the following:                 

  •                         Writer’s or artist’s name
  •                         Royal Identification number
  •                         Local mailing address and phone number
  •                         Year in school, major, and pertinent information (Honors, SJLA, etc.)
  •                         Genre of submissions on current card
  •                         Title of each work submitted in this genre

We will consider a maximum of five visual art submissions (art, photography) and five literary submissions (prose, poetry) per author/artist. Submissions received late, mislabeled, faintly printed, damaged, or without a hard copy, a disk or a complete 3 x 5 card (including the real name of the submitter) will NOT be considered. Esprit does not accept resubmissions, works currently under consideration elsewhere, or previously published works.
