Selection and Judging

We continually evaluate your submissions for advance publication on metrosphere.org. Each spring semester, a panel of students, faculty and staff convene to select the best submissions for publication in print. Each submission is scored based on pre-determined criteria, including creativity, technique and readability (for literary entries).

We are now accepting applications for student judges. All judges will be expected to:

• Assist the editorial staff with the evaluation of submissions.
• Remain unbiased and assess submissions on merit and level of development in their discipline.
• Have a moderate knowledge base of either artistic principles and/or literary criticism.
• Forgo the right to submit work to the magazine in respect of fairness to all entrants.
