We're open minded artist-types, but we do have some rules for submitting your work to us...

You may submit a total of five individual pieces in any of the following
categories:
•

•
poetry (up to five poems)
•
artwork (up to five pieces; please note the medium used).
We cannot accept more than five total submissions from any one person per reading period.
Due to the nature of creative work, please proofread your submissions
for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors before submitting. We
reserve the right to reformat.
We only accept submissions via email attachment (see address below).
Artwork may be submitted as JPG, GIF, OR PNG files. Written work may be submitted as DOC, RTF, OR TXT files.
Cover page must be attached. Include the following on your cover page, which can be the body of your email:
Attention: Illuminati
Your name
Your email address
Your phone number
Please do not include your name on the body of your work to assist us in judging anonymously. You may request that a pen name or “Anonymous” be used if your work is chosen for publication. We accept previously published work, just tell us where it was originally published. We accept simultaneous submissions, but please let us know if your work is chosen to be published elsewhere as soon as possible.
You will be notified of your submission status by email form letter approximately two weeks after the judging session. Final selections are made by a judging panel that may consist of students, faculty or staff of Miami University Middletown. By submitting to Illuminati, you attest that your submission is your own, original work. We acquire the right to publish your work, to archive your work online permanently, and to republish your work in a print or web-based anthology. All other rights revert to the author (after we publish it, your work belongs to you--do whatever you want with it). If you republish your work elsewhere, we require that you cite Illuminati as the original publisher.
If you have any questions or would like to work on our staff, please contact
