Are you a writer, artist, doodler, or storyteller living in the university neighbourhoods?
Do you have a poem, pencil sketch, watercolour portrait, comic strip, short story, or perhaps something a little more obscure, that you’d love to share with your neighbours?
We’re introducing an Arts and Culture section in The Campus Resident in our September issue to showcase the creative spirit of our community. We welcome submissions from residents of all ages and backgrounds—from seasoned creators to individuals just beginning their artistic journeys.
What we’re looking for:
- Poems (up to 50 lines)
- Short stories (Flash fiction, creative non-fiction, etc – max 500 words)
- Comic strips or single-panel cartoons
- Visual art (Paintings, photography, collages, digital art)
- Children’s drawings or short poems (yes, we want contributions from the little ones too!)
- Off-beat art (Humor writing, quirky reflections, the abstract, etc)
To submit:
- Email your submission to: editor@thecampusresident.ca. Include your name, the neighborhood you live in, and a short 40 word bio describing your art and who you are .
- For visual art, submissions must be sent in high-resolution at 300dpi, preferably as JPG/PNG/TIFF/PDF files.
- For written submissions, please attach as a .doc, .docx, or Google Doc file.
We are launching the section in our September 2025 issue. To have your work considered, please send your submission in no later than August 15.
All submissions will be reviewed by The Campus Resident’s Arts and Culture editors. Accepted contributors will be notified and have their work featured in both print and at www.thecampusresident.ca.
Get involved and share your artistic talents with the community!
