To:


Hello,


My name is Melody Trujillo and I am a student editor at Matchbox Magazine,
an annual UC-wide literary and visual arts publication. I am reaching out
to you today because we are accepting undergraduate submissions for our
18th edition (prose, poetry, visual art, music, and spoken word). Our
mission is to platform underrepresented student voices across the UC
system, particularly artists with a diversity of intersectional identities,
experiences, and radical visions for expression. For our 18th issue, our
final deadline for student submissions is this Wednesday, February 14th. If
you have not seen our previous editions around your campus before, then you
can also check them out on our website
<https://matchboxmagazine.org/publications/> or via our issue catalog on
Calaméo. <https://www.calameo.com/accounts/7184920>


Matchbox is a wonderful opportunity for students who have not been
previously published to receive recognition for their work. Last year, we
received approximately 500 submissions thanks to our contacts at UC
Riverside, ultimately enabling us to represent the collective artistry of
UC undergraduates in our 17th edition. We hope to have a large presence of
UCR undergraduates in this year's issue, and we can make that happen with
your help!


Students can submit their work to Matchbox Magazine at
matchboxmagazine at gmail.com or by using the QR code on the attached flier.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. You can also
message us on Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/matchboxmagazine/?hl=en>,
or contact us directly at matchboxmagazine at gmail.com.

Submissions at a glance:

   -

   We will be accepting submissions from now until 2/14/2024 (limited to UC
   undergraduates)
   -

   Submissions can be sent directly to matchboxmagazine at gmail.com or by
   using the QR code in either attachment
   -

   All schools represented in our magazine will receive copies of our 18th
   edition to be circulated among their student body


I have attached submission fliers below and would greatly appreciate it if
you could virtually distribute them to your students via email or your
campus’ Learning Management System (i.e. Canvas).


Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.


Best regards,

Melody Trujillo
