Call for submissions to Argentum, GBC’s art and literary magazine

ELKO — Each academic year, Argentum, Great Basin College’s art and literary magazine, selects a theme for those who would like to showcase their best work in any of the three categories including artwork, writing, or multi-media. The theme for 2022-23 is Balance, and the submission deadline is Tuesday, February 14, 2023.


The magazine is an opportunity for GBC students, faculty, staff, and community members to demonstrate their creative abilities and skills. After contributors submit their work, it is anonymously sent to our Selection Committee who will choose pieces for the magazine.


Every contributor has an opportunity to have their work selected for publication in the magazine; however, only GBC academic and Continuing Education students have the chance to win a cash prize. Prizes for first, second, and third place are $250, $100, and $50 in each category. 


All digital issues are kept on the Argentum web page at www.gbcnv.edu/argentum and free printed copies are available from the Continuing Education Department located at 1025 Chilton Circle, Elko.
