Dear Undergraduate Artists,
We are delighted to announce that the Harvard Undergraduate Classics Journal, Persephone, is now accepting both written and artistic submissions for its upcoming spring issue until December 31st! We warmly invite you to apply. Please consider submitting a variety of works including, but not limited to, paintings, drawings, collages, photographs, sculpture, and digital art. All submissions must relate to the field of Classics in some way (for example, artwork featuring Greek or Roman mythology/history/culture, etc.). We also invite you to submit written submissions inspired by the discipline, such as creative pieces, original poems, scholarly essays, translations, original Greek or Latin compositions, and other genres. Please visit our website if you wish to peruse previous issues for further inspiration, or if you’d like to learn more about submission requirements.
We will confirm submission upon receipt and select pieces for publication by late January. Our editors will then work with accepted applicants to finalize drafts, with publication set for early May. Please note that the upcoming issue will be a double issue, featuring accepted submissions from both the past 2022 cycle and the upcoming 2023 cycle.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions: we ask that you send all inquiries to contactharvardpersephone@gmail.com.
We hope that you will consider taking advantage of this opportunity to share your work with fellow enthusiasts of the ancient Mediterranean world and add your voice to this lively field!
