LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA—Simbaa, Lincoln University’s Magazine of the Arts, is now accepting submissions for its spring 2023 edition. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to submit for consideration their best poetry, short stories, essays, visual art, and photography. The staff is also looking for small business owners on campus who would like to be spotlighted in Simbaa.

All submissions can be e-mailed to simbaa@lincoln.edu. The deadline is Friday, March 10th.

In addition, Simbaa, along with the Department of Languages and Literature, is again sponsoring the Poet Laureate Contest and Guy A. Sims Short Fiction Competition.

Stories submitted to the Short Fiction Competition should be original, unpublished, double-spaced, and in the range of 1500-2500 words.
