Castings

Castings is the CBU Literary Journal that publishes the art, poetry and prose of our students. It's an opportunity for students to showcase their talent and represent the creativity within the CBU community. It is put together every Spring semester by two student editors and overseen by Dr. Steve Grice in the School of Arts. The journal is usually distributed across campus the week before final exams in the Spring.

Contest

To help promote the journal and motivate students, submissions are entered into a contest where the winning students in each category will win a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place monetary prize. The deadline for the contest is always the the Friday before Spring Break and the deadline for publication in the journal is the Friday after Spring Break.

Submissions

There is no limit for how many pieces a student can enter, but they should identify no more than two or three pieces that they would like to be judged in the contest. Extra submissions will simply be published in the book if there is enough page space. Each category has three judges (professors) from the different departments on campus. There are two expert judges and one neutral judge to decide the winners.

Current Editors for 2006-2007 Castings: Jessica Henderson, Senior ECCM major; Ashley Grandberry, Senior ECCM major
