What is the Crowder Quill?
The Crowder Quill is a literary-art magazine published annually by the DIGM 105 Applied Graphic Design and Media Campaigns class as part of the Digital Media Marketing program at Crowder College on the campus of Neosho, Missouri. It is our goal to encourage and showcase the creative abilities of local writers, artists, and photographers as well as provide a cultural link between Crowder College and our surrounding community. Winners are published in the Crowder Quill magazine.
About the Contest
The publication is funded through Crowder College as an educational tool and service to the community. Both the contest and publication are free. The Crowder Quill is published each spring semester. The contest divisions are for Crowder College students, high school students, and adult community members all within 100 miles of any of our Crowder campus locations spanning from Nevada, Mo. in the north to Jane, Mo. in the southwest corner of the state and to Cassville, Mo. in the southeastern part of our service district. The contest categories are in writing, art, and photography. See here for more details. Each semester, the contest receives around 1,000 entries and awards around 125 recipients. Only the winners are published in the magazine.
