(From Crowder College)
The Crowder Quill, a literary and art magazine of Crowder College, will host the annual awards ceremony with a campus- and community-wide poetry reading. The event will take place Friday, May 6 at 7 p.m. in Elsie Plaster Community Center Auditorium on the campus of Crowder College in Neosho, Mo.
The public is welcome. RSVPs for poetry are requested; others are welcome to the microphone as time permits. Poetry that is NOT published in this edition of the Quill is encouraged, as the magazine will be made available following the ceremony.
"This year's ceremony and publication continues the 36-year tradition of our mission to encourage and showcase our area's authors and artists," said Latonia Bailey, Crowder Quill adviser since 1994.
The event will also include the announcement of those whose entries were chosen to be published in the 2016 edition and awards presentations.
All published entrants will receive a certificate for gold, silver, bronze or honorable mention. Award placements will not be announced until the ceremony. Afterwards, light refreshments will be served.
The ceremony is being hosted in conjunction with the Art Department’s student art open house in which a reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Longwell Museum.
Hand-delivered Quill art entries are now available for return by arrangement. Entrants should email Lbailey@crowder.edu or call 417-455-5410.
A PowerPoint Presentation will showcase the winning photography and art entries during the ceremony. Remaining entries will not be displayed but will be available for pickup after the ceremony.
