2010 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR THE ROUND TABLE LITERARY MAGAZINE
ALL SUBMISSIONS WILL BE JUDGED ANONYMOUSLY, SO NO NAME SHOULD APPEAR ANYWHERE ON THE SUBMITTED WORK; HOWEVER, STUDENTS BELOW COLLEGE AGE SHOULD MARK EACH SUBMISSION IN THE UPPER RIGHT-HAND CORNER WITH THE STUDENT’S GRADE LEVEL (“ELEMENTARY,” “MIDDLE,” OR “HIGH SCHOOL”) SO THAT THEY CAN BE JUDGED ACCORDINGLY AND CONSIDERED FOR THE APPROPRIATE AWARD CATEGORY.
EACH PERSON SUBMITTING WORK SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE A SINGLE NOTE CARD WITH NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, AND THE TITLES OF ALL WORKS BEING SUBMITTED BY THAT PERSON ON ONE SIDE OF THE CARD. ON THE OTHER SIDE, PROVIDE A FEW SENTENCES OF BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION FOR THE CONTRIBUTORS PAGE, SHOULD THE WORK BE CHOSEN FOR INCLUSION.
