Call for submissions – short stories

From ASUs Virginia Piper Center for Creative Writing:

Announcing the 2020 Everything Change Climate Fiction Contest

Judged by Claire Vaye Watkins
Grand Prize: $1,000
Deadline to Submit: April 15
Earth is a closed, limited system. And right now, we’re living beyond its boundaries. What would life look like if we respected our planet’s capacity? How would we organize our cities and homes? How will our politics, culture, and identities be affected by the climate crisis? How can we ensure that a sustainable future is also one that’s just?

Submit your short story to our third annual Everything Change Climate Fiction Contest! The contest will be judged by Claire Vaye Watkins—Guggenheim fellow, NYPL Young Lions Award winner, author of Gold Fame Citrus—with a grand prize of $1,000. Submissions must be 5,000 words or less. Presented in partnership with the Center for Science and the Imagination at Arizona State University. The deadline for submissions is April 15, 2020.

Find the full guidelines, read past winners, and submit your work today at https://piper.asu.edu/everything-change.
