The winner will be awarded $300 (at least 6 cents/word).
Redstone Science Fiction is calling for contest submissions that incorporate the values discussed in the essay The Future Imperfect by Sarah Einstein. What does a world, or space station, or whatever look like when it has been designed to be accessible to everyone and how would people live together there?
The submissions should portray disability as a simple fact, not as something to be overcome or something to explain why a character is evil. The submissions should also incorporate the portrayal of disability in a world where universal access is a shared cultural value. The story chosen by Sarah Einstein and our editors will be published in our September issue.
Specifics:
The contest will be open from June 15th until August 15th.
The maximum word limit will be 5000 words.
The winner will be awarded $300 (at least 6 cents/word).
Use the manuscript formatting as outlined by William Shunn:
- Double spaced
- 12 pt. Courier New (or Times New Roman)
- 1″ borders
- Name, contact info, and word count at the top of page one
- Name, title, page number in header for the rest of the story
The email:
- in the subject line include: your full name and story title
- in the body include: your name, contact info, word count, and a short cover letter listing your publication history
- attach your story to the email in Rich Text Format (.rtf) or Microsoft Word (.doc) format
