Note from site host: Wow, this calendar is currently tough to read, isn’t it? This is because the calendar has been ported to a new website. New posted events from here on in will direct to the new site–so you’ll only have to tolerate this for a little bit :)

ENDING: FutureScapes Contest
July 15, 2016
FutureScapes is a Periodic Web Contest Event.
Want to branch out from the novel-length side of things for a bit? Consider FutureScapes: write a short story (up to 8000 words) according to this year’s theme (Cities of Empowerment). Winners earn up to $2000 and have their manuscript placed in front of today’s leaders.
“FutureScapes is an annual writing competition that asks writers to envision a particular sort of world, and tell us a story about it. We could run projections and publish reports, but there’s a reason why Wilde didn’t say, “Life imitates empirical studies.” We want to help writers of excellent potential find their voice while shaping tomorrow.”
The original information page for this Event can be found here and the rules page can be found here.
