Loco Mag is seeking college-age writers, photographers, videographers, designers, and interviewers to contribute to our latest issue! Loco is a lifestyle and culture magazine always on the hunt for new articles, photo spreads, and fresh takes on student perspectives. We are not strictly a news publication or a creative writing publication. We want to hear from you. We want your stories in your voice and your words.

With the semester winding down, we wanted a theme that just about anyone could relate to in one way or another. Something that would be easy for people to talk about, especially after seeing family for Thanksgiving. With that in mind, we would like to officially announce issue #74: “I Don’t Get The Reference!”

Bring us your controversial fandom opinions, reviews of the new Hunger Games movie, stories of references you never understood, or times you made references nobody else understood. However you choose to interpret this theme is fine with us! Loco Mag accepts articles, videos, podcasts, photo essays, and whatever else you wish to create. 

Need some inspiration? Here are some keywords to get you started: media (tv shows, video games, movies), jokes, autism, confusion, dictionary, libraries, classics, opinions, trends, gossip, fandoms, fans, the backrooms, FNAF, etc…

Our sections include Travel, Lifestyle, AV Room (Audio/Photo/Video), Entertainment, Mood, and Features. Regular articles usually run upwards of 500 words. Features typically run around 1,500 words. Have more than that? Cool! If not, no worries. We’re an electronic publication so space is unlimited. We’ll accept anything from a 250-word photo spread to a 500-word interview to an hour-long podcast to a 2-minute video. Be creative, and tell your truth.

Submit your work by Sunday, December 3rd at 11:59 pm. You can submit by clicking the “submissions” tab right below the featured slider on the homepage.
