We are doing the Halloween costume contest again. So, get designing! Last year, we gave away luxurious Darjeeling Limited prize packages. Details and prizes for this year coming soon! Check out some of the entries from last year.

And, as announced earlier, the deadline for submissions to the first issue of The Yankee Journal has been extended to October 31, 2008. We have received many fantastic, Max Fischer-worthy entries, but we’d love to hear from more of you. Details.

Call for Submissions

In celebration of the tenth anniversary of the premiere of Rushmore, the film that inspired this site, the Rushmore Academy will release the first issue of our online art and literary Yankee Journal this fall (early October). Submissions should be inspired by the films of Wes Anderson but need not be about Mr. Anderson or his films (they, of course, can be). Accepted submissions will include, but are not limited to:

• Graphic art (of any genre or type, submitted as a PNG, JPG, etc)
• Poetry
• Short story
• Essay (including film critiques and reviews)
• A little one act

By submitting your entry, you give us permission to publish it online. Your work will be subject to the same Creative Commons license that the site uses. We will not sell your entry nor use it for any purpose other than the stated one.
