Solved...but I can't find any submission instructions.

So a "just for fun" puzzle?

That seems always to be the case, and Evan even posts the solution on his blog simultaneously with the puzzle: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/evan-birnholz/

Going through the grid, I was afraid I wouldn't know enough about the subject to figure out the meta without a lot of googling. But it turned out it didn't really matter; easy enough to get started and see where it's going and backsolve in places.
