Coinciding with the close of our contest, we'll be closing all Backwards City submissions as of today, March 31, while we catch up on our obscenely backed-up slushpile. We'll take anything postmarked from today to about a week from now for Backwards City #4, but beyond that, it won't be read. We need to catch up and this is the only way to do it.

Watch the blog and the Web site for news of submissions reopening, as well as for the details on our first theme issue, Backwards City #5!
