Matchbox magazine is the first free, student-run, UC campus wide literary arts magazine. Through the publication of the literary and artistic talents demonstrated by UC students of each campus, we develop a sense of community not yet offered by a student-run print media organization. Matchbox aims to stimulate consciousness of and cooperation between the artistic and creative communities present throughout the UC campuses. This collection of art and writing is implemented through collaboration with students from participating campuses. Matchbox strives to bring the UC campuses together in an innovative way. Forming a state-wide literary arts publication allows for students to give back to the community at large and gain recognition for the work that they are producing during their enrollment at the UC. This publication does not adhere to a system of exclusive selection criteria that either reflects the attitudes of a particular university or negates those of others. Selection of submissions are based on the quality of work as well as the magazine’s mission to provide the UC system with creative diversity. The fourth edition of Matchbox magazine will be printed and distributed in the spring of 2010. (read less)
