Submission guidelines:

• Use this link to submit your work or email thetowerou@gmail.com with “(SEMESTER) Submission” as the subject and the work(s) as an attachment

• Denote the name under which you wish to be credited: anonymous and pen names allowed

• Denote the title of the piece (“Untitled” is a title)

• Written submissions should be in Times New Roman 12 pt font

• Visual art or photography submissions should be in .jpg or .png or .tiff format

• Maximum of 5 submissions per person

• Maximum length for written submissions is 5 pages (single-spaced)

• You may submit up to 3 pieces of poetry or 1 prose/fiction/nonfiction piece

• You may submit up to 3 photos, pieces of art, songs, short films, or multimedia pieces.

We will try to print as much artwork/photography as possible in color, but please be aware that your work may be published in black and white.

For written work we do NOT take wordpad docs, screenshots of written work, works in the bodies of emails, or outside links to work (other than google docs). We DO take Microsoft Word docs. .pdfs, and google docs.

Make sure before you send in written work that you have removed your name from the text in the document. This ensures blind judging.

Acceptance status will be emailed within a week after the submission deadline, inquire if it has been more than two.
