If you don't Farrago, does that mean we're through?
feat. edition 1: renaissance, edition 2 cover art submissions, radio fodder blog call-outs, regular newsroom meetings
happy monday once again gremlins! we just wrapped up a huge week with the launch of edition one and the closure of round 2 applications and edition 2 submissions, so now we’re getting things going for edition 2 & 3 (wink wink).
in the meantime, this week’s rec! i love ice spice.
Read Edition One: Renaissance!
In case you missed our launch party last Friday, Edition One 2023 is now out! You can read it online via Issuu or pick up a physical copy from stands around campus (but mostly in Building 168) for free. Enjoy! <3
Edition Two Cover Art Call-Outs
Cover submissions for Edition Two are open! And the theme is: Choreomania!
Have a look at the Pinterest board if you want some inspirations: https://pin.it/rM8eOZr
You are welcome to submit photography, collages, digital art, traditional art and everything in between! The deadline for cover submissions is Friday 17 March 11:59PM.
FrontCoverspecs: 216mm x 303mm
BackCoverspecs: 216mm x 303mm
Don't worry about doing the “Farrago” header part - we shall do this, you just submit the artwork! :)
The back cover must be cohesive with the front cover (i.e. incorporate some elements from the front)
Keep in mind to leave space in the middle for the “F” logo on the back cover
Please ensure your work is at least 300 DPI, and don’t forget to submit a back cover artwork as well!
Send your submission to editors@farragomagazine.com with the subject heading ‘Edition Two Cover - Your Name’. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
Edition Theme Suggestions
We’re looking for fresh ideas for future print editions of Farrago in 2023. We’ve set up a Google form for you to send in your ideas – go ham!
Regular Newsroom Meetings…!
Thanks to everyone who attended our first newsroom meeting last Thursday! I (Josh) am really keen to make these little get-togethers an ongoing thing for the News Team (and anyone on the other teams who’s interested in dabbling in journalism!), so if you’re a Reporter or News Subeditor, or are interested in getting involved with News, please fill out this When2Meet with your ongoing weekly availability so I can find a time that suits everyone!

Musician Call-Outs
We have an entire academic year worth of launch parties that are in desperate need for live music and are keen to get more bands and/or solo artists to perform! Know any student musicians? Are you a student musician? Say less and email us at editors@farragomagazine.com.
As always, stay in touch! We’re always open for cold submissions and pitches for literally anything. We are also almost always in the Goblin Cave, located on the fourth floor of Building 168.
Drop by to say hi, chat all things media or feel free to use one of our extra desks as a workspace! I also recently got a buttload of snacks. Please eat them before they go bad.
Love,
