PUBLICATION

Submissions will be evaluated by members of the Artifacts editorial board. We encourage media compositions that may include video, audio, podcasts, photos as well as the traditional essay.  If you choose to submit a traditional essay, we encourage you to add hyperlinks where helpful and to include images or other media (that you have rights to use) that expand or enrich the scope of your work. Projects are selected not because they meet some universal standard for writing, but because they meet with creativity and intelligence the particular demands of given topics and forms.
