Spire Magazine Submission Process
Spire Magazine is Elgin Community College's visual arts and literary magazine published each spring by ECC students. Submissions of original student works are sought in fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and visual arts.
One of your entries can be submitted to be considered for the annual Florence Palmer Awards. Ms. Palmer was a poet and educator who lived and taught in Elgin for many years. The award winners receive $900 for first place, $400 for second place, and $200 for third place in the subjects of fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and visual arts. The judges are comprised of a rotating group of ECC Faculty.
