SPRING 2018 CREATIVE ARTS COMPETITION:
The Liberator Magazine is excited to host a creative arts competition this semester! We hope to reach out to students and amplify voices and experiences that may not be heard otherwise.
The contest is open to all UT students and we will be taking submissions until March 1st, 2018.
We are accepting works of fiction (poetry, short stories), nonfiction (editorials, personal narratives/essays), visual art (painting, graphic design), and photography! You are allowed to submit separate pieces to all four categories, but no more than one piece to each category. (EX: You can submit to both Fiction and Nonfiction, but don’t submit two short stories to Fiction or three articles to Nonfiction).
Our theme for the spring print issue is “Rebirth.” We encourage you to explore what “rebirth” means to you right now— whether it signifies the dawn of a new era, symbolically, or even personally— but we also want you to be daring, genuine, and to write what is true to your experiences and perceptions of the world around you. Even if you have never written fiction or nonfiction before, even if you are not an experienced photographer- your voice deserves to be heard!
