Atlantis Magazine looks for photos that capture emotion, demonstrate artistic skill, and explore new ideas. We understand that photographic work may reflect a student's study of the classics, or it may be a product of a student's experiment. We accept both color and black and white. Really, there are few limitations. Show us your vision!

Atlantis Magazine accepts art of all kinds and mediums from classic oil paintings to alternative sculptures.

Nonfiction submissions should represent the truth. But what does that mean? At Atlantis, we believe nonfiction should be honest—to both emotional and eventful truths—that the author must use their best judgment to distinguish the lines between fact and fallacy. While we are inclined to both memoir and new-journalism pieces, we ask that submitters keep in mind that their works will be marketed as nonfiction and do not write to deceive. With that being said, we still welcome experimental forms of nonfiction work if the writer's vision is clear and present. In fact, we encourage experimentation. But please refrain from submitting academic-style pieces (e.g. argumentative essays). We will not accept papers written to objectively argue a point. Research is crucial. But it shouldn't just be facts and no plot. We want our work to be creative, subjective, and personal. One rule of thumb is: does it tell a story? Applicants may submit up to 10 submissions (total, in all categories). Prose submissions should be fewer than 1,000 words (double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font).

Atlantis welcomes fiction written in a wide variety of genres and styles, with the following guidelines. Submissions must be less than or equal to 1000 words and formatted in double-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman. We cannot accept fanfiction due to copyright law, nor do we accept work written with the help of generative artificial intelligence. Submissions can be short stories, flash fiction, or a selection from a longer work as long as the selection can stand alone. We will look for evidence of the student's ability to craft a story, but also their ability to consider diction, syntax, and other stylistic elements.

Submissions are only open to all students attending college in North Carolina: graduate, undergrad, public, private, or community college.  Applicants may enter up to ten submissions total, in all categories.

Please submit at least two pieces in two different genres for the staff chapbook! Staff members may choose to submit to their own genre, but note that those pieces may be at a disadvantage during the selection process. We will be aiming to publish one piece per current or former staff member who submits.
