Guidelines

​

Cover design submissions must be original work and must not have been printed or reproduced in another publication. An entry does not fail the “original work” requirement merely because it has been graded by a professor who has offered advice on it. Submissions can be paintings, sketches, drawings, graphic designs, or any design suitable for reproduction on our cover.

​

All cover design submissions will be referred to the Texas Hispanic Journal of Law & Policy Executive Board. Cover design submissions will be judged by the following factors: (1) the choice of cover design, as measured by its significance, relevance, and uniqueness to the issue’s selected theme; (2) the amount of work and effort reflected by such factors as thoroughness and care taken to refine the cover design; and (3) the quality as measured by the artistic and creative talents necessary in its design.

​

The Texas Hispanic Journal of Law & Policy seeks to give credit and recognition to the artist selected. Thus, a biographical note may be included on the inside cover. To qualify for publication, artists must execute the form of assignment necessary for such publication, and the Texas Hispanic Journal of Law & Policy will copyright published designs and release any assignment of all designs not published.
