2017 Futurescapes Writing Contest

The annual Futurescapes short story contest is now open to submissions from amateur and semi-professional writers. This year’s theme is “Blue Sky Cities” and the judges are “seeking stories set in a near-future city where significant strides have been made toward improving air quality, climate adaptation, or even net positive impacts on climate and air quality.”

There is a $2,000 prize for first place and $500 each for five runners-up. Winners will be selected by a jury of professional authors and will have their stories published in an anthology. The contest deadline is October 13, 2017.
