The Catalyst Now Seeking Submissions -- Nov. 6th Deadline
Greetings from The Catalyst!
The semester seems to be in overload mode and the La Crosse community is buzzing with activity. As anyone who follows American politics can see, the nation is pulsing with more and more energy the closer we get to November. Why not turn that energy into creativity? For this semester's edition of The Catalyst we would love to hear your voice. Therefore, this semester's theme is "The Choice is Yours!" During this busy election season, everyone has something to say. Avoiding mud slinging and various other negative political tactics can be difficult; focusing on personal views is nearly impossible. Show us how creative you can be with your views!
As always, we will be happy to accept submissions outside of the theme.
Please submit your work by November 6th to catalyst@uwlax.edu. Feel free to direct any questions, comments, or concerns to this address as well.
* All photos and artwork should be submitted in .jpeg format. Please send music by way of a YouTube link. If this is not possible, please contact us and we will try to work around the issue.
** The Catalyst is an independent journal and does not discriminate against the views of artists regardless of race, religion, political affiliation or sexual orientation. Please respect the opinions of fellow artists as you would your own views.
*** To view past issues, please visit www.uwlax.edu/catalyst
**** The Catalyst is a publication of the UW-L English Club. For more information on the UW-L English Club, please visit http://uwlmyorgs.collegiatelink.net/organization/englishclub or contact Kimmy at wegner.kimb@uwlax.edu
Thank you and we hope to see your work soon!
