I, as an artist, have a reeeeally great idea for this one column and it’s totally better than whatever else you may have picked. Can I get preference?
Short answer: no. Long answer: all proposals will be carefully reviewed by our team of curators. If your idea really is the best idea, fret not, it will be chosen! To be fair to everyone applying, we will be anonymizing the applications to ensure that total strangers have just as much of a chance as our personal friends.
