What is the Crowder Quill?
The Crowder Quill is a literary-art magazine published annually by the Magazine Production class 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 publication is designed annually by Crowder College students enrolled in Comm 111, Magazine Production. For the 2015 contest, more than 1071 entries were received, and 126 awards were presented in a public ceremony.
