This category has been added to encourage those radical communicators who like to think "outside the box". While a lot of subversive writing and design has emerged which challenges the status quo using its own conventions, very few of these initiatives have employed a mode of communication that is not rooted in commercial culture itself. The "Beyond..." category hopes to bring out new visual and conceptual forms of communication which catalyze social change while engaging people as something more than mere consumers.

Please read the following summary of what does and does not belong in the Beyond… category

The Beyond... category is looking for submissions of written work and visual work. For more information on how to submit go here.

The Beyond... category is open to all students, activists, professionals, misfits, malingerers etc.

For more context on the Beyond.. category, please read:
- What is wrong with Market-style communication.
- Can we dream our way out of market culture and its devices?
