Closing date: 01 July 2019
The Blend’s publisher Altair Australia Pty Ltd, a small press anthology publisher, accepts stories that challenge either the way we see ourselves in the future, or how the world is represented in the future. This vision could be a science fiction, fantasy, horror, romance, thriller, crime view, or a contemporary view following the lives of people as they adjust to the new, or who are entrenched in the modern way we have yet to experience.
The Publisher will donate the Award, plus $500 in cash to the story it feels best represents the future vision of either the world, or of people. The Blend International will publish the recipient in the next issue of its journal.
Submissions to the Future Visions Award are open to all short fictions between 3500 and 7000 words for unpublished original submissions, and up to 10 000 words for previously published stories.
Entry to the competition is via email attachment, with an entry fee of $5. Details of how to enter can be found on The Blend International Literature website:
