Publication in the Spring Magazine and fall chapbooks are only open to writers enrolled at Otterbein University (full- or part-time) at the time of submission. All submissions are blind, meaning that only the faculty advisor of Quiz & Quill knows the identities of writers and artists until after final selections are made by staff and editors. In order to maintain your anonymity during this part of the process, please do not include your name on the file containing your submission.
This contest is your opportunity to design an entire cover for the magazine. We're looking for bold, eye catching designs that fit with the general vibe of our literary magazine. Take a look at our archives for inspiration!
