This open call is an invitation to our community to submit suggestions for articles they’d like to see included.
We explain more about the inspiration behind the theme choice in our open call page along with prompting questions to spark your creativity in addressing this topic.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for a variety of pieces that cover a range of writing styles and content types, such as: text, code, mixed media, comics, recipes, interface designs, audio, video or games or whatever other medium helps you express your idea.
Pieces can:
- vary in length- long max 2,000 words – short 500 words
- can come from a single or collective voice
- be in languages apart from English: we’d like there to be an english translation for each piece – we can provide translation help
We’re especially interested in case studies reflecting on practical applications of our grid-aware websites toolkit. Case studies can sound quite formal but they really don’t need to be. Submissions that share an experience of playing or experimentation definitely count as case studies, and your play doesn’t need to be complete or a total success to be included! It’s about the learnings and insights about what happened.
All submissions are welcome by Sun 20 April 2024, midnight PST (UTC -8).
We can’t wait to see how you respond to this theme!
