The "Fountain" Journal, Competition Deadline

“The Fountain” Journal for Literature and Culture, are excited to officially announce the topic for the writing competition for this issue:

How much does the heart weigh?

The Fountain has been the journal for literature and culture of the American College of Sofia since 1994. It emerged as a voluntary initiative of actively writing students and teachers and gradually became one of the official releases of the school. The journal obtained an international ISSN number in 2011, which officially recognized The Fountain as a periodical.

The journal aims at giving talented students space to express themselves by publishing texts, photographs, and illustrations, and by organizing annual competitions (for prose and poetry, for translation and for cover design). Being part of the publishing team, students get introduced to the whole spectrum of activities related to the publishing process of a periodical — choosing texts for publishing, editing, working on the overall design, using prepress programs, conducting interviews, giving book reviews, advertising, organizing events, managing finances. One of the important goals of the journal is to create a taste for literature and personal criteria for the valuable cultural displays among the student body and in the same time to keep up with the current trends.
