Cochise College is seeking submissions for “The Mirage,” a literary and arts magazine produced annually by students.
“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.
The priority submission deadline is Wednesday, Nov. 24. Works received by this deadline will receive first consideration for the 2011 publication.

- 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 and not more than 2,000 words.
- Digital literary submissions are required in Microsoft Word. Digital artwork must be submitted at 300 DPI or higher and at 100 percent of their actual size. Photos should be at least six by nine inches.
