2010 Submissions Spindrift is Shoreline Community College’s own award winning art and literary journal. Spindrift has been publishing student, local and regional art and literature since 1966. Winner of numerous awards such as best literary magazine at Seattle’s Bumbershoot Festival and first place in a national literary magazine competition sponsored by the Community College Humanities Association (CCHA), Spindrift is once again seeking submissions of visual and graphic art, essays, poetry, and short fiction. Submission Guidelines Submissions must be accompanied by (1) a list of all materials sent, (2) a cover letter including the contributor’s name, address, phone number, email, (3) two or three lines of biographical information, and (4) an appropriately sized S.A.S.E. for author notification. Literary
Two typed, double-spaced copies are required for each submission, with the exception that poetry need not be double-spaced. The author’s name should NOT appear on the work. Due to volume received, literary work will not be returned. Photography, Fine Art & 3D Art Artwork may initially be submitted for jury review in any format. The hardcopy printout with name of the work and artist on the back of each piece is preferred. We also will need an electronic copy of the file, preferably a 300ppi Mac Tiff file on CD. Photo-quality prints or slides are also accepted. Some work may be excluded due to printing limitations. If necessary, apply a fixative and flap smudge-susceptible original art with a protective covering. Original art must be unframed with a label attached to the back of each piece, including a hardcopy print, the name, address, phone number and email address of the artist. Include an appropriately sized S.A.S.E. for return of works; otherwise, submissions should be delivered to and claimed at the address below. Any art not picked up by the first week of December becomes property of Shoreline Community College. A maximum of five (5) works per artist or photographer can be submitted. Submissions must follow guidelines to be considered.

The
anthology, a collaboration of works of student, faculty and regional
and national contributors, has won many regional awards from CCHA in
past years; in the last five years alone it has earned three first
place awards and two third place awards.

“Although this year, Spindrift is recognized by the Community
College Humanities Association as the best community college
literary magazine in the nation,” said Deborah Handrich, faculty
co-advisor, “in my opinion, the award reflects all the hard work of
every student involved in Spindrift in the last five years.”
This year the judges noted several things that called attention to
Shoreline’s anthology. The cover image submissions were solicited
only from students and this year’s edition offered more work of
first-time published students than previous editions.
“These two factors are perhaps the most important categories
in the national competition,” said Handrich.
This year’s cover was designed by Sean Sherman. First published in 1966, not long after Shoreline opened its doors, this year marks the college’s 43rd year to publish Spindrift. The journal is designed, edited and produced by students, and is printed on campus as a training project for the Visual Communication Technology (VCT) Program.
The 2009 staff included Lucy Weiland, literary editor, Kisa Nishimoto, managing editor; Ian Louthan, design and art editor; Elissa Foster, asst. art editor; and Phyllis Rae, Kelsey Toberg and Triana Collins, literary assistants. Faculty advisors were Deborah Handrich and Christine Shafner. |
