April 17 This is what I propose for our group. Feel free to love it or hate it. We have a lot of submissions. I think we should, as a group, look at each picture quickly and say yes or no, to slim down the number. Then, we can work through each one with a rubric. Robyn and I had discussed whether we would take all the pictures from a submitter, or pick or choose. I think our consensus was to pick and choose. If we end up picking multiple photos from the same person, great. If not, at least more people get to be published. -Dana

I posted the call on the EGSO Facebook page. I believe Robyn is trying to contact ASNMSU about advertising the call on the tv newsfeed around campus. -Dana

Rubric to work from:

1. Does the piece represent the theme and aesthetic of the issue? 2. Does the work's language have sufficient velocity and efficiency? Are you moved to read the entire piece? Are you moved to read it twice? 3. Does the piece provoke a point or argument? 4. Does the piece have a weight of significance? 5. Is there a narrative movement and/or conflict? 6. Does the work avoid cliche and overused language? 7. What is the best line or moment? Is there a point in the piece where you feel the most energy? Did the writer capitalize on this? 8. Should we accept the piece? 9. What editorial changes would you recommend?

Here are some other sample rubrics [sorry the formatting is bad]:

III. Does the Composition Work as Formal Design? []

A. Do the elements of the compositions move the eye around the composition or is it static? B. Do all parts seem to belong or is a part that is too inconsistent with the rest of the photograph? C. Do any lines or vectors move the eye off and away from the composition? D. Is directional placement effective? Do moving part face inward or is anything placed so that it is expected to move off of the composition? E. Are there distracting mergers between foreground and background parts? F. Are there mergers with the edges of the composition? G. Is depth or flatness obvious or does it make a subtle contribution to the mystique of the photo? H. Is there appropriate framing or cropping to maximize the effects created by the composition? I. Does size and scale heighten the message or feeling without being gimmicky? J. Do the tonal, color, and textural choices increase the photograph’s power without overpowering it?
