Flash Fiction Contest: Near-Future Sci-Fi
Hello friends! A friend of mine gave me a link to a flash-fiction contest that some of you might be interested in submitting to. Winning stories will be dramatized for Public Radio.
We’re looking for great sci-fi stories, based on real science and set in the near future. Sci-fi master Kim Stanley Robinson, best known for The Mars Trilogy, will choose the winner.
The winning stories will be turned into radio plays, produced by To the Best of Our Knowledge and LA’s Ensemble Studio Theatre, directed by Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation).
Story Guidelines
Your story must be set in the near future and draw on the tradition of “hard” science fiction, science fiction that is scientifically plausible. Want more information about hard sci-fi? Check out this article
Possible story themes include: communication, energy, computing, robotics, biomedicine, drones, spaceflight, nanotechnology, ecological concerns, food production, reproduction, end-of-life, surveillance.
It should be 500-600 words, short enough to be read aloud in three minutes. It must be suitable to air on public radio. You can submit only one story to this competition.
The deadline is March 1. For complete details go HERE.
