The Chameleon is only open to Norwich University students and Northfield K-12 students. Norwich students can submit up until the day they graduate and may be published in issues that come out after their graduation.
Submit year round.
By submitting your work, you are allowing Norwich University to use your piece in the journal, on our website, in the Guidon, in future issues of the journal, or in other ways, including on social media. There are no monetary or non-monetary payments for publications other than to those who win awards.
If you do not want to use your real name, please clearly let us know on your manuscript. You can choose a pen name or Anonymous.
We normally make our final decisions around March. So submissions received after January may take a while for us to accept/reject.

Submit artwork here. Please submit each piece separately. Also, make sure you have high resolution images available in case we decide to publish your photograph. Or else we can take high resolution photos if you have the art on campus.
We need artwork photographed or scanned at 300 dpi (which means they've got to be larger files than a standard Facebook photo) so we can print them off and have them look their best. We can take photos of your artwork if need be.
