The deadline to submit original art and literary work for publication in “The Mirage,” a magazine produced annually by Cochise College students, has been extended to Monday, Jan. 3.
“The Mirage” includes art, photographs, short stories, poetry, and other works by students and members of the public. Anyone who is a Cochise College student or a resident of Cochise or Santa Cruz counties may submit entries for publication.
As part of a class project, students taking Journalism 257 or English 257 evaluate submissions and design and publish the magazine during the spring semester.
Submissions must meet the following guidelines:
- Be the original work of the person submitting
- Include a cover sheet with a name, address, phone number, email address, and title(s) of work(s), and a 75-word autobiographical description
- Submissions in poetry and prose must be typed. Prose should be double-spaced. There is a 2,000-word limit for prose entries and a limit of five submissions per person in art or writing.
- Digital submissions are preferred as Microsoft Word, for written documents, and artwork at 300 DPI or higher. Unless sent by email, art and photographs must be submitted as slides.
More specific submission guidelines and past issues are available by contacting Jay Treiber at (520) 417-4765 at the Douglas Campus or Jeff Sturges at (520) 515-5435 on the Sierra Vista Campus.
