Writers around the world can enter a short story contest and compete for cash prizes.
Grist is accepting submissions for its annual climate fiction short story contest, “Imagine 2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors.” This is a competition for writers to image a future in which solutions to the climate crisis flourish and help bring about radical improvements to the world.
A great story entry showcases creative climate solutions, particularly through narratives that center the communities most impacted by the climate crisis, and that envision what a truly green, equitable, and decolonized society could look like.
Stories must be between 3,000 to 5,000 words.
The winner will receive US$3,000. The second and third-place winners will receive US$2,000 and US$1,000, respectively.
The deadline is June 24.
