The Chrysalis Art & Literary Magazine creates opportunities for students on campus to be creative and get paid for it.

Each semester, the magazine organizes a competition for students to submit their own creative works in categories including photography, prose, poetry, and art for a chance at a grand prize of $100 in each category with a second place prize of $50.

This semester is no different, and anyone interested in submitting needs to do so by Feb. 12.

Organizers say this competition creates a fun way to earn some cash but also to get work published for the world to see.

“The Chrysalis Art & Literary Magazine is a good place for new writers to get published. Many famous writers have first published in their college’s magazines,” said John Kitterman, faculty advisor for Chrysalis.

Participants get the chance to solidify their name and forever have a piece of themselves in the college’s memory with this publication.

“The Chrysalis is a great time capsule for Ferrum College. We have all these wonderful pieces of what’s going on in students’ minds at the time of the magazine’s release and that’ll be printed and remembered. It’s a great way to carve yourself into Ferrum history,” Editor Scout Lynch, sophomore, remarked.
