Sapiens Plurum just announced the 2018 Earth Day Short Fiction Contest. The contest offer $1,800 in cash prizes — and is free to enter.
The grand prize is $1,000.
Writers are invited to submit a story that addresses the question: “Can we rewrite our children’s history?”
According to the contest guidelines:
It’s a question that takes some thought to process. Is our children’s history our past, present, future, or all three? We leave the answer to authors in the 3rd annual Earth-Day Short-Fiction Contest.
Perhaps they will reimagine the historical introduction to society of a “new” technology, people considering (or not) the ethical and safety implications and potential impacts on their lives. Some questions you might consider:
— Does the protagonist use this to help humankind?
— Is the protagonist among the fearful or the proponents as the story opens?
— Does the technology act on the protagonist, the protagonist on the technology, or both?
— What are the unintended consequences?
— What change is incited in the protagonist or the technology?
Writers can submit their work starting April 22nd –– the deadline to enter is June 1st

Competitions that prescribe a theme or subject matter throw in a lot of restrictions on the creative process. Total turn off for me. Thanks btw. I await the release of the shortlist for the commonwealth and 100-word short story competitions.

I believe it squeezes you to think creatively around a certain theme....
