El Portal is open to submissions from all artists and writers. Submissions are published on the basis of talent, content, and editorial needs. El Portal serves as the creative forum for the students, faculty, and staff of Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU) as well as artists, writers, and photographers worldwide; consequently, the views expressed in El Portal do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints and opinions of ENMU as as whole.
For the 2024-2025 reading period, we will be open to submissions between July 1st and September 30th. Our fall 2024 issue will be online. Our spring 2025 issue will be print.
