Imagine 2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors, sponsored by Grist (no fee)
A climate fiction contest with no entry fee and a $3,000 award? Yes, please!
Do you remember the intriguing climate fiction writing contest we told you about sometime back?
Its deadline is June 24th, 2024.
Grist's Imagine 2200 climate fiction contest is inviting stories rooted in creative climate solutions and community-centered resilience. And for that, it is offering:
- $3,000 to the winning writer
- $2,000 and $1,000 to the second- and third-place winners, respectively
- $300 each to an additional nine finalists
All winners and finalists will also have their stories published in an immersive collection on Grist's website.
Beyond the impressive awards, Grist has partnered with Oregon State University's Spring Creek Project to offer the winning writer (first place) an unforgettable Environmental Writing Fellowship and Residency.
You will not only be helping a nonprofit news org dedicated to telling stories of climate solutions in their battle against climate change, but you'll also try your hand at an entirely new genre you wouldn't usually write in.
Either way, it's a win-win!
