[Image Description: Pictured at the top left is the Imprint logo. Beneath that is the title, “Call For Writing” with a yellow hermit crab beside it. On the right, the text reads, “The Hermit Crab Issue Spring 2026.” Beneath that, it reads “Imprint is a student-run online magazine supported by the Department of Writing and Rhetoric. We are accepting submissions for Spring 2026!”

Beneath the title, a decorative divider is present, created by gray speckles and a variety of seashells.

Beneath the divider is a list.
The first item reads, “Tell a story about a shell that changed you. What moment, experience, or transition reshaped your personal identity? How did that experience contribute to your future career (the major you chose)?”

The second item reads, “Share about a shell that became home. Reflect on how finding your place at UCF through academics, communities, or friendships have influenced your sense of belonging.”

The third item reads, “Write about a shell that may have been too heavy to carry. What did it teach you? How does it influence you? What can other students learn from your experiences?”

The fourth item reads, “Reflect on a shell we collectively share at UCF and your perspective on the evolving identity of UCF.”

Following the list, beneath is a yellow background decorated with seashells is used to separate information. In this section the text reads, “All Majors Welcome! Deadline: March 30th, 2026
