Sapiens Plurum: Better Futures – What Comes Next?
Sapiens Plurum conducts an annual short fiction contest, opening on Earth Day of each year. The purpose of the contest is to entice authors to conceive of the future in terms of desirable outcomes, and imagine how we might get there. The topic of this year’s contest is, ‘Better Futures – What Comes Next?’ Their guidelines say, “Each of us contributes to the future, through our work, our creations, our children, even our DNA. Imagine a being or entity that exists in the future because of your existence on Earth today. Is this entity your descendant in a traditional sense? Have beings evolved? Is your “descendant” still biological? Is your “descendant” a grandchild or a clone? Have we merged with technology or uploaded DNA to create new cyber-beings? Is your “descendant” something completely different?

Things to consider as you write your story: Let the reader see this future world through your eyes. Let us see how people — whatever that means – try to live in harmony with the natural world and society, how they maintain their own health and happiness, how they overcome challenges. But most of all, tell a good story, with characters we care about, setting, conflict, and resolution.” Submissions should be 1,500-3,000 words.
Value: $1,000, $500, $300
Deadline: 9 June 2019

University of Southampton: Green Stories Writing Competitions
They have writing contests with deadlines throughout the year, in various formats – play, film, radio, book, tv, interactive fiction – that in some way touch upon ideas around building a sustainable society. They will consider all genres – rom-com, literary fiction, science fiction, mystery, crime etc. – but stories must engage with the idea of environmentally sustainable practices and/or sustainable societies. Most stories set in the future are dystopian, meaning they have a pessimistic view of society.

They also have various resources on their website that writers can refer to and integrate in their stories. Their guidelines say, “The story doesn’t have to be about sustainability or climate change directly. A rom-com, for example, could be set in a society that replaces ownership with borrowing and the heroine goes to a clothes library to pick up a posh dress and borrow jewellery for her big date; or the hero in a crime drama could use a carbon credit card and hear the news in the background reporting on the wellbeing index instead of GDP; or the characters in a legal drama could live in a city where everyone has gardens on their roofs and generates energy from their own waste.”
Value: For each category, £500, £100, £50, plus £50 for best student submission (18-25 years) and £50 for best < 18 year submission.
