## About This Program

*Long River Review* welcomes all art mediums, including photography, drawings, illustration, printmaking, paintings, and comics/graphic novels. We accept submissions from both UConn and non-UConn creators, including contributors of all ages and experience levels. Works must not be previously published elsewhere. AI-generated works are not allowed.

**Submission Limit:** 5-10 Pieces

All art **submitted by UConn students** to *LRR* will be considered for generous cash prizes. Submit artwork based on the following specifications:

- Tiff or .EPS file in 5.75 inches (minimum width) x 8 inches (maximum width), in 350 dpi, CMYK mode.
- Full-color art or images should be scanned at 350 dpi in CMYK mode and saved as TIFF files.
- Black and white art should be in greyscale (this means there is no color but the gradations of black and white are complex).

**Please include a 150 word artist statement explaining the artwork.**

Note: Any **comics** should be entered as Art/Photography submissions.

*Long River Review* accepts simultaneous submissions. **Please let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere.** **If your work is accepted, we ask for First North American Serial Rights (i.e., to be the first publication in North America to publish it), after which the rights revert back to you.**

All contributors get two copies of the issue where their work is featured. Unfortunately, we are not in the position to offer payment to our writers.

**While we are open to a plethora of innovative and exciting works,** ***Long River Review*** **will NOT publish stories that/ are:**

- Condone bigotry: sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, or hateful ideologies
- Center around graphic depictions of sex or violence
- **AI generated**
- Excerpted from a novel or larger body of work (unless the piece can stand alone by itself)
- Political manifestos

If your work fits into any of these categories, it will be **automatically disqualified** for review or publication. We only accept **unpublished work**.

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
