  • Additional info

    Category "Letter to a Stranger": Write a letter to an unshakeable stranger you’ve met along the way, whether traveling across the world, the country, or down the street. Category "No Equivalent": What is one word you have come across that resists being ferried over into English? Write about one of these untranslatable words, and the role it has played in your personal geography or voyages. Category "Under the Influence": Tell us about the interplay between art and reality, and how the lens of each showed you something interesting about the other. Title your submission along the lines of “Reading [author] in [place]”/ “Listening to [artist] in [place],” etc. Category "What I Didn’t Say": Revisit the experiences that have stuck with you, the happenings that didn’t bend into the margins of the assignment, but that persist in your memory. Category "Witching Hour": In this new series, we want to feature lyrical portraits of places at a distinct time of day or night. In contrast to the whirlwind nature of 36-hour travel, we want to indulge in a scene locked in the grasp of one specific time and place.
