“Secret Passage” by Shea Burchill
Of the winning essay, contest judge Sonya Huber had this to say: “I found this essay so compelling because it allows the reader to accompany the author in an ongoing and complex exploration of a mystery that is still unraveling. More than narrative suspense, this accompaniment produces a sense of deep connection both to the subject matter and to the larger unknown that we all navigate. An open-ended reflection on secrets, gender identity, change, and memory, this beautiful essay presents the experience and consequences of feeling trapped in a gender binary.”

Drawing the Mall
“Drawing the Mall,” by Brian Kearney is our 2022 Muiltimedia contest winner. Judge Kristen Radke called the essay “a slightly-deranged, entirely-beautiful love letter to an American institution that ‘has seasons but it has no weather.’ I’ll genuinely never look at a food court the same way again. I fell in love, too.”
