- All written submissions must be typed with poetry being single-spaced and prose being double-spaced. Submit written work as .doc or .docx OR .rtf files.
- All written work must be titled, and the file name should contain the title but not the name of the student submitting, so we may maintain blind judging. Also, include your student ID number but not your name anywhere in the document.
