SandScript is the visual arts and literature magazine of Pima Community College and is published annually in the spring semester. SandScript is a showcase for the writing and visual art of the Pima student body, and highlights the immense creativity and talent of Pima students.
Established in 1990, SandScript has produced 33 print editions, including two exclusively digital editions during the pandemic years. SandScript has won a variety of national awards since its inception, including receiving first prize in the National Contest for Collegiate Magazines held by the Community College Humanities Association for five years in a row, from 2015-2019.
Most recently, SandScript won CCHA's "Best Overall Magazine" award for the Southwest Region.
All SandScript works are created by the diverse body of Pima students. The magazine is produced by students enrolled in “Literary Magazine Workshop” (WRT 162). The editorial board consists of Pima students and one faculty advisor. All submissions are read blind, and acceptances are determined based on multiple voting rounds. Each issue is curated, edited, and designed entirely by the student editorial board, who come from a variety of academic backgrounds and disciplines.
