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.
We recommend that contestants take into consideration what The Pedestrian is about. The first issue of The Pedestrian will be released, in print and online, June 28.
