Submission
Guidelines
Creative
and Critical Papers
Seven submissions in each category will be read at the Francelia Butler
Conference.
Guidelines:
Submissions do not have to be work done at Hollins, but must have been
written no earlier than June 2007. Additionally, they are not
required to adhere to the year's theme. You may submit one piece of
work to each of the two categories, Creative and Critical. Papers that
were read at last summer's conference, have been published, or critical
papers that have been read at an academic conference are not
acceptable. You may submit work that was submitted (but not read) last
summer if it has been revised.
All papers should be no longer than 4000 words maximum, which comes to
about 15 pages in Courier. You should include your works cited page(s)
with your
submission, but it does not count towards your page limit. Papers
should follow MLA format: Font size 12pt, Courier font, double-spaced
pages with 1-inch margins. Pages should also be numbered in the top
right corner (1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc.). The winner of each category, as
selected by the panel of judges, will receive the Shirley Henn
Award, which includes a $100 prize.
The deadline for all submissions is 2:00 p.m. on Friday, July 11. There
will be a drop-off box for conference submissions outside of Amanda's
office.

Artwork
All submitted art will be displayed and judged at the Francelia
Butler Conference Art Show.
Guidelines:
While the theme of this year's conference is
Dr. Seuss, entries are not required to be related to the conference
theme. All forms of art are accepted for the conference
gallery. Last year participants submitted original works of art
in the areas of painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media and
watermelon carving.
At the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to vote on their
favorite piece of art. The winner will receive the Margaret Kates
Award which includes a
$100 prize.
The deadline date for all art submission forms is by Monday July 14th,
2008. Submissions may be made electronically by e-mailing a copy
of the completed from to jhain@hollins.edu
or by dropping the completed form in the student mailbox labeled
HAIN. Please note that only forms are to be left in the
mailbox. Artists need to plan to bring their own work to set up
at the VAC on Friday July 18th between the hours of 2pm and 6pm.
If for some reason you cannot make it to hang your own art, please
contact Jamie Hain at jhain@hollins.edu
to make alternate arrangements. Artist assumes all responsibility
for safety of artwork regardless of who stages the piece.
