IMPRINT
An Artistic and Literary Magazine
WHAT IS IMPRINT?
IMPRINT is a digital literary magazine for all CISD students and all staff. Our district abounds with creative, unique, and interesting people. This is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate these individuals and their creative work. We have established IMPRINT to provide a venue to showcase their efforts, the voice and the vision for a bright future.
A DIGITAL LITERARY MAGAZINE! THAT'S GREAT! SO, HOW DO I SUBMIT?
Submissions are entered through this Google form using your CISD e-mail account. Content submitted from non-CISD e-mail accounts will not be accepted. Submit only for yourself; content may not be submitted for another person. Include the category for which you are submitting. Submit content for writing categories in a single Google Doc file, in 12-point Arial font, that you will link in the submission Google form. Meet the requirements of the specific category for which you are submitting (see below). Submit content for artwork categories in .png or .jpg file format only. Meet the guidelines for each art category (also below). Include only one submission per category in a single entry, please. You may submit for multiple categories, but must do so as separate entries. Bilingual/ multilingual submissions are welcomed and encouraged, especially those that creatively explore how the unique features of each language, when together, make meaning which may not be possible without the bilingual/ multilingual perspective.
HOW DO I KNOW WHICH CATEGORY TO PICK?
You can access a document that provides information for the seven writing and eight art categories and the submission requirements of each category in the Google Doc file at the end of this section. Please pay special attention to the requirements, especially the word limits; they are different for each category, and submissions that do not meet the requirements will not be published.

Please continue to submit!
