About ‘Aawaaz’
‘Aawaaz’ is the literary e-magazine of the National Law Institute University, Bhopal under the aegis of their Literary Society, Jus Cultura. It encourages students to ponder upon social issues intellectually and come up with innovations, creativity and imagination with unique solutions or to shed light to a newer aspect, untouched by all.
The magazine has received almost 100 submissions from across the world for its first issue and is looking forward to release its second issue.
Aims and Objectives
Aawaaz aims to manifest the unvoiced sufferings by spreading awareness and penning down the experiences through a space which fosters independent thoughts and innovation, which inculcates a culture of research and ignites conversations on social issues, its impacts on the youth and the society in general.
With the objective of promoting literature and creativity in the minds of young jittery individuals, this magazine encourages the submissions to be more eccentric, full of haywire, raw ideas, unthinkable concepts – in short, it lets your thoughts run free!
Who can Submit?
Students, academicians, research scholars, and activists are welcome to contribute to the magazine. The deadline for submission is 30th November 2020.
Structure of the Magazine
This magazine is a quarterly issue and they accept any writing, subject to scrutiny and review, be it poems, stories, opinions, ballads, essays etc. This time they are also inviting entries in the form of caricatures, graffiti, short travelogues and reminiscences. Aawaaz endeavors to provide a platform where authors get to publish work across genres.
The magazine broadly has two sections. The first one deals with diverse content that surrounds one’s lifestyle like music, food, art, culture, technology, opinions, satire, movies and the list goes on.
The latter part deals with issues that demand seriousness because it aims to create an impact among readers through sensitive and intellectually-dealt content. For the submissions in latter part, it should fall under the following broad headings:
