Aurous at Lynchburg College

Happy Friday, Designers!

I hope you have all had a fufilling week, and are keeping up with Design!

Today's blog post is about Lynchburg College's art magazine, the Aurous. As the Creative Writing Director (Co-Editor) of Lynchburg College's only art magazine, I wanted to share what the Aurous has to offer to you.

The Aurous is Lynchburg College's only art magazine. It features the best of the student's art and creative writing from the year! The Aurous is also student-run, with David Dale as the Art Director (Editor) of this year's publication.

The Aurous staff accepts art work and creative writing pieces done for school assignments and any art work created outside of school from the year. For example, this year we will be accepting student creative writing and art work (created in or outside of school) from the 2012 Spring semester and the 2012 Fall semester. We will be accepting up to 6 entries of art and up to 6 entries of creative writing.

If you want to submit an unified series of art work (for example, a unified series of three separate photographs), then that would count as one submission.

As for art submissions, we are accepting Graphic Design, Sculpture, Drawing, Painting, Photography, , Ceramics, Design, and Mixed Media. If you have any questions about your submission, please message us at our facebook page "Aurous at Lynchburg College". Here is the link:

We will be accepting digital submissions and physical art submissions. The details for dpi size of the digital submissions will be announce through a mass e-mail and on the facebook page (so stay tuned!). For physical submissions, students will be able to bring their art work into the Mac Lab (Schewel 111), and the Aurous staff will professionally photograph your sculpure, mixed media, painting, drawing, etc.  More details on physical submissions will be sent out in a mass e-mail, and on the facebook page.

Some upcoming Aurous dates to keep in mind are:

Friday, November 2nd: Aurous Professional Photoshoot (students can bring their physical submissions to the Mac Lab, Schewel 111 to have their work photographed for submission into the magazine).

Friday, November 9th: Submission for entries deadline (the last day that the Aurous will be accepting student creative writing and art submissions).

These dates are listed as "events" on the Aurous Facebook page. Please join these events to let us know you are attending! When you "join" this event, you will get updates on details and information.

**This year, we are having 2 call for entries. The first call for entries is to enter work from the 2012 Spring semester that you may have, and we will have a call for entries in January, as well for art work created in the 2012 Fall semester. 

If you have any questions, please comments back on this blog post, or e-mail m at ella.bella7@gmail.com

Have a wonderful Friday, and a great weekend!

Peace,

Ella Bella
