The wait is over, the entries are in! After weeks of small raindrops leaking in, the inconsistent stream turned into a flood on Saturday, the final day to submit. About two weeks before the deadline, we decided to refresh Cow Creek Review's submission posters to ensure they didn't look like old news. We also got back to doing classroom visits and feverishly passing out our business cards. It's strange how many students don't submit work. Some are worried that their work is not good enough, others just choose not to, but I think it's an incredible opportunity to not only get your work published but earn the feeling of accomplishment that boosts your confidence into making more, better work. Now that the downpour has stopped, I have my work cut out for me with over 160 submissions to review. I have enjoyed it so far because of the variety in subject matter. It has been a challenge to not judge artwork based on my personal preferences, but I have been doing my best to only evaluate them on their creativity, originality, and craftsmanship. In the next few weeks we will finally be organizing and putting the magazine together. I can't wait to choose the cover with the Art Editor, Jansis Alvarado!
