Call for Papers: NLIU’s Aawaaz: Literary E-Magazine [Volume 1, Issue 1]: Submit by September 5

About Aawaaz

Aawaaz is the Literary E-Magazine of the National Law Institute University, Bhopal under the aegis of their Literary Society, Jus Cultural. It encourages students to ponder upon social issues intellectually and come up with innovations, creativity and imagination with unique solutions or to shed light to a newer aspect, untouched by all.

Aims and Objectives

Aawaaz aims to manifest the unvoiced sufferings by spreading awareness and penning down the experiences through a space which fosters independent thoughts and innovation, which inculcates a culture of research and ignites conversations on social issues, its impacts on the youth and the society in general.

With the objective of promoting literature and creativity in the minds of young jittery individuals, this magazine encourages the submissions to be more eccentric, full of haywire, raw ideas, unthinkable concepts – in short, it lets your thoughts run free!

 

Who can Submit?

Students, academicians, research scholars, and activists are welcome to contribute to the magazine. The deadline for submission is 5th September 2020.

 

Structure of the Magazine

This magazine is a quarterly issue and we will accept any writing, subject to scrutiny and review, be it poems, stories, opinions, ballads, essays etc. Aawaaz endeavors to provide a platform where authors get to publish work across genres.

The magazine broadly has two sections.

The first one deals with diverse content that surrounds one’s lifestyle like music, food, art, culture, technology, opinions, satire, movies and the list goes on.
