For the latest es­say con­test, you are in­vited to sub­mit a fa­mil­i­ar es­say on the sub­ject of a par­tic­u­lar game, sport, or oth­er activ­ity in which one plays. A small frac­tion of pos­sible sub­jects in­clude crick­et, vol­ley­ball, or golf; crib­bage, back­gam­mon, or chess; Pong, Don­key Kong, or Pokémon; four-square, kick­ball, or cap­ture the flag; Double Dutch, yo-yo, or charades; cro­quet, shuffle­board, or petanque.

The winning es­say will be pub­lished in the February, 2011 is­sue of The Ped­es­tri­an (On Play) and will re­ceive a $500 prize.

Would you prefer to submit an essay on a different aspect of the theme of play? Or, perhaps, on another subject that relates to the theme only tangentially? The Pedestrian will consider for publication other essays that are outside the scope of this contest. Simply submit your essay as a general submission.
