2011 The Meadow Cover Art by Harry Wilson

Submit Literary or Art Work

We only accept email submissions. Submit your work as described below to meadow@tmcc.edu between Sept. 1 and Feb. 1.

Sponsored Cash Prizes

In past issues, the Student Government Association of TMCC has sponsored cash prizes for the winners of the Meadow literary, art and design contests. Through a blind submission process, the editorial board chooses finalists in four categories: fiction, poetry, nonfiction, art/photography and cover design. An independent committee selects the first-place winners from among the student body.

Submission Guidelines

After reading the submission guidelines below, send your submission to meadow@tmcc.edu.

We welcome submissions of poetry, fiction, screenplay, nonfiction, artwork, graphic design, comics and photography, preferably high-contrast artwork that will reproduce well in print. We cannot accept original artwork of any kind. Please scan artwork and send through email as an attachment.

Because all submissions must be sent via email, we prefer to receive submissions as an attachment (in .doc, .rtf or jpg format). Cover design must be sent as .pdf.

Do not paste submissions into the email.

All email submissions must be accompanied by contact information (name, address, telephone and email) and brief (less than 50 words) biography—include the title(s) of each piece submitted in the email. We do not accepted previously published work, but we will consider simultaneous submission and expect to be notified immediately of acceptance elsewhere.

We will accept up to 6 poems, photos or art pieces or one work of prose (fiction or nonfiction) from each author or artist. Prose may not exceed 4,500 words.

Please put all poems into one attachment. Do not send in individual attachments.

Your name may not appear anywhere on the pieces submitted as we read all submissions without names.
