Readers asked to submit to UNM’s art and lit magazine

Editor,

In the past week, Conceptions Southwest got a fair amount of submissions, yet we have decided to push back the deadline one more week for all those who were not able to meet last Friday’s deadline.
The new deadline is Friday, Dec. 17.

For those of you who don’t know, Conceptions Southwest is UNM’s only arts and literary magazine solely for UNM students. We publish once a year and do our best to represent UNM’s most-talented students.

Conceptions Southwest accepts and publishes anything within the creative realm: music compositions, architectural sketches, photography, paintings, drawings, poetry, creative writing, fiction, nonfiction and everything in between. If you are at all inclined in any of these areas, we would love to see your work.

Feel free to submit projects you might have had to do for finals. There’s no point in creating a masterpiece and getting an “A” only to have that project gather dust in the years to come.

Instead, you could submit that excellent photo, short story, or painting to Conceptions Southwest and have it preserved for years.

But don’t think you have to be an art student to get published.
We take work from all UNM students.

It is critical to gain exposure before trying to enter any kind of large publication, and we can provide that. You don’t have to be professional or have prior experience. You just have to be inspired.

In order to get a submission form, you can do one of the following: Go to Marron Hall, Room 107, e-mail us at csw@unm.edu, or you can check out our Facebook page (Conceptions Southwest).

E-mail us with your questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing all your creations. And remember — your art needs a home, so why not Conceptions Southwest?
