Submissions for ’23-’24 Edition

We only accept work from Oregon State University students. Fill out the required fields and attach up to five submissions. If you submit more than five pieces (including cloud links for audio/video and raw files for visual/written; and including multiple submission forms from one artist) we will ONLY consider the first five. Please keep in mind that the overall total of file uploads cannot exceed 40 MB. If you have any questions, email us at omn.prism [at] oregonstate [dot] edu.

Read the following for submission guidelines:

Literary Submissions

800-word limit for prose pieces, use a readable 12-point font, save as pdf or doc only. If you are submitting an excerpt from a longer work, please make a note at the top of page. DO NOT write your name anywhere in the file(s) you upload.

Visual Art Submission

300 PPI quality image, JPG or PNG format. Do not have your name anywhere in the file(s) you upload. (Note: an illegible signature is fine)

Video & Audio Submissions

Under 20 minutes long, submit by sharing a Google Drive or other cloud sharing link to your file rather than uploading the file directly. Use the text submission boxes titled video or audio link to copy and paste the link into the form.

And remember to have fun! We don’t pick a theme until after we see the submissions, so it is entirely up to you to decide what you’d like to share. We can’t wait to see what you submit!

If published, your artist statement will appear in the magazine.
