PORT ANGELES — Tidepools Magazine of Peninsula College has won the Best Small Budget Literary Magazine Award from the Washington Community College Humanities Association.
“Student editors at PC compile and edit the magazine, make posters and marketing materials, run the website, design the cover and page layout, recruit judges, print and burn 300 CDs, arrange readings and do hundreds of other tasks each year to keep the magazine alive,” said Michael Mills, Tidepools Magazine faculty advisor.
Student editors for the winning 2015 issue include Brittany Black, Dylan Eekhoff, Sharon French, Meghan Maggard, Dani Barrow, Lily Kimple, Carl Marsh, Cole Wall, Kayla Conway Jackson, Hayley Powell, Lily Kimple, Steven Berry, (Kristy) Diep Khanh Linh, Sharon French and Patrick McCready.
Marina Shipova of the art and graphic design faculty assists the editors by generating the layout of the final draft of the magazine.
The Tidepools 2013 issue received the same award from the state group.
The 2014 issue — a two volume set celebrating the magazine’s 50th Anniversary — had to sit out the contest because the college had won the previous year, the college said in a news release.
Entries are needed for this year’s issue.
The deadline for submissions is Jan. 15.
Submissions in art, music, and creative writing can be from any resident of Clallam or Jefferson counties.
Contest entries require a fee, but non-contest entries are free.
Submissions are accepted online at www.tidepoolsmagazine.com.
