Catch is the Knox College community's biannual journal of the creative arts, and is the longest running, continuously published college literary journal in the country. The journal's publication is marked by a widely attended reception and show, where visual art from the journal is displayed and students read from their work.

The spring 2002 issue of Catch won top national honors from the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP). The journal also won a 2003 Magazine Pacemaker Award from the Associated Collegiate Press (ACP), one of the highest honors in the field of student journalism, for the fall 2002 issue. The fall 2004 issue was named an ACP 2004 Magazine Pacemaker Finalist. The fall 2005 issue was named an ACP 2005 Magazine Pacemaker Finalist. Catch has won four top national and international awards in six years and six national awards in the past 25 years.

Catch is entirely student-run, from the head editors to the proofreaders. All content, including layout and design, is original undergraduate student work—unlike most college literary journals that typically publish the work of graduate students, faculty, and even professional writers. In fact, Catch competed against these types of literary journals for the AWP award.

The journal features creative work of any genre, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, visual art, drama, music, and theatrical design. Past publications have included work as diverse as a computer program that generates fractals to more traditional visual art and creative writing.Catch welcomes student submissions of any kind and utilizes a blind submission process.

Catch has been published under its current name since 1969. However, Knox has published a student-run literary journal for more than 100 years, making Catch the oldest continuously published literary journal in the country.
