An Unlikely List of Unlikely Themes

From September 1st through the 15th, we ran an unlikely contest to help us with our unlikely theme for Issue 9 (appearing in early summer, 2014). We received 96 entries scattered between our blogs, Twitter, and Facebook, with only a handful of duplicates. And there are so many good ideas here, we’re going to have a really hard time choosing.

Thank you all for participating. We’ll be discussing these over the next couple weeks and will be announcing the winner and runners up on or around October 1st. (I’ll be traveling that week, hence the squishiness of the timeframe.)

Here are the entries, in the same order that we received them. (If you submitted an entry and don’t see it below, please let us know.)

    • One might consider it an oligarchy, though I have some hopes that it’s really a logocracy.

      (That said, we do welcome commentary and will take what people say into some account.)
