ECAASU is now accepting submissions for the inaugural issue of its new art and academic journal. We welcome a variety of pieces including but not limited to: visual art, fiction, non-fiction, academic essays, poetry, biographies, photography, short stories, dance, and film.
For ECAASU’s first journal, we want to focus on new beginnings. Rise is about becoming visible, about how communities lift each other up. It’s about what happens when we step up to face a challenge and what drives us to do so. Rise asks us to think about social movements, their drivers and leaders, and their effects.
In the pieces you submit, consider these themes and ask yourself these questions: What do you stand for? How do you make yourself seen? What obstacles have you and/or your community overcome? What sparks fire within you?
Submissions due Friday, November 1st at 11:59pm
Questions? Email sharmila.dey@ecaasu.org and gordon.shi@ecaasu.org
All high school and college students are eligible to apply!
We may feature stills from submitted videos in the print edition, accompanied by links to the full video available on our website.
