The "Oranges" edition is closed for submissions.

The theme "Oranges" is based on oranges. The word is an example of something that's only able to be described by the thing that it comes from.

And yes, it rhymes with nothing.

By no means is your work expected to reflect oranges. In fact, we prefer it not. The theme is meant to give the work context and to inform design and conceptual choices within the paper.

Here are a few items that inspired this theme:

• Color or Fruit? On the Unlikely Etymology of "Orange"
• Home Run by Gabriel Orozco
• One Hundred Years of Solitude [excerpt] by Gabriel García Márquez
• Strange Fruit by Zoe Leonard
• Woman with Parrot by Edouard Manet
• Orange Moon by Erykah Badu
• The Battle of Oranges in Italy
