Cash prizes are awarded to first-, second- and third-place winners in each category (Only ENMU students qualify).<\/p>\n

Eastern New Mexico University\u2019s literary magazine,\u00a0El Portal<\/em>, offers a unique venue for the work of writers, artists and photographers.<\/p>\n

Though founded in 1939 as the creative forum for the students, faculty, and staff of Eastern New Mexico University, it was Dr. Jack Williamson who gave us the name\u00a0El Portal<\/em>, along with his vision to showcase the region through art. Since then, we hold a soft spot for the West, but\u00a0our eclectic tastes make us open to everything. Our mission is in our name:\u00a0El Portal<\/em>\u00a0is the door. We open our doors to poetry and fiction, photography and art, non-fiction and flash works as we strive to share works that transgress boundaries, straddle borders, and most importantly, move us.<\/p>\n

Submissions<\/h2>\n

We want stories and poems about West. West is a bullet-riddled 1985 Grand Marquis, a gleaming spaceship hovering over Roswell, a cowboy paying his latte with the Amex-card, an alien wondering where in the world to get the golden iPhone. West is where it hurts, West is the rattlesnake you didn\u2019t hear, the dust storm sanding your car, the champagne underneath the Hollywood sign, the checkout line of a grocery store that doesn\u2019t carry mandarin-orange segments in fruit juice, green-chili and cheese burritos from the 24-hour gas station. West is when there\u2019s no West left. West is where you always wanted to be.
\nWrite West.<\/p>\n

El Portal\u00a0<\/em>is open to submissions from all artists and writers. Submissions are published on the basis of talent, content, and editorial needs.<\/p>\n
