Dixie State College's literary journal, The Southern Quill, is calling for DSC students to contribute their poetry for possible inclusion in the publication's 2010 edition. All students who submit poems will also receive consideration for scholarships funded by the Annie Atkin Tanner Memorial program.
The Tanner program was established in 1972 by Dr. Vasco M. Tanner to honor his wife Annie. This year, the fund will award $900 in prizes. To determine winners, the Southern Quill's editorial staff reviews and evaluates every student-written poem, selects the 10 strongest pieces from this pool and then forwards them to members of the Tanner family, who determine the first, second and third place winners of the scholarship prizes.
Published annually since 1950, The Southern Quill is committed to celebrating the arts in southern Utah. In addition to poetry, the journal publishes short fiction, non-fiction and artwork produced by Dixie State College students; it also welcomes material from writers and artists who live in Washington and Kane Counties.
Contributors may submit up to three poems, three works of visual art and/or one short story. Send materials to The Southern Quill, c/o Dr. Stephen B. Armstrong, Department of English, Dixie State College of Utah, St. George, UT, 84770. Electronic submissions are welcome. Send materials to: thesouthernquill@gmail.com. Deadline is January 25, 2010.
For further information contact Steve Armstrong at 652-7806.
