Spike, 1943

Contributions are again solicited for Spike, 1943, and must be in the hands of the Editor by the end of the vacation.

The Executive offers a prize of 10/6 for the best contributions in prose, verse, and the photographic medium.

The judge of the photographic section suggests that prints be on a 16 x 10 inch mount, but will not enforce this as a rule. Similarly it is preferred that competitors carry out their own printing and developing. Please state whether or not this is the case. All prints will be returned.

This year, owing to the difficulty of obtaining photographic materials, we do not expect to have as much material submitted to us as in former years. Therefore we request the contribution of wood-cuts and lino-cuts to supplement the art section of the magazine.

If you have an urge to rhapsodise, to apologise, to compromise, to proselytise, don't inhibit yourself. Write it down (legibly, one side of the paper only) and send it to us.

Spike this year will be reduced in quantity; it is up to you to compensate for this by making its quality the best yet.
