En ny japansk skrivartävling är öppen även för datorer och utomjordingar:

"The Hoshi prize, set up last year to honour one of Japan's major SF writers,
hopes to attract stories from AI scientists
Organisers of the prize - which was set up last year to honour one of Japan's
major science fiction writer. Shinichi Hoshi.
- hope that next year's competition will see stories created by
artificial intelligences going up against those written by humans, with
judges to be unaware of who - or what - wrote an entry until the winner
is chosen.
Hoshi's daughter, Marina Hoshi Whyte, told the Guardian that,
alongside human competitors, the prize would accept entries from
computers as well as "from other non-humans, such as space aliens and
animals, as long as they are written in Japanese".
"It's sort of a joke, but for real," she said. "I wanted the
award/competition itself to be science fiction. After all, if it can't
expand the imagination of the general public, what's the point of having
a sci-fi competition?"
Hoshi Whyte is particularly hoping that next year's prize will
include a submission from a group of Japanese scientists headed by Dr
Hitoshi Matsubara, a professor at Future University-Hakodate in
Hokkaidō. Matsubara and his team have been working with the hundreds of
short stories written by Hoshi himself since September 2012, as well as
Hoshi's essays on how to write short stories, attempting to use the
author's rules to help artificial intelligence create its own fiction,
said Hoshi Whyte."
Nackdelen är att bidrag måste vara på japanska.
