Deadline är 30 sep, och språket torde behöva vara engelska. (Sammanfattar det
viktigaste i reglerna nedan.)
https://www.nesfa.org/awards/short-story-contest/
"The purpose of this contest is to encourage amateur and semi-professional
writers... We will look for engaging openings, good character development,
well-structured plotting, powerful imagery, witty or humorous language, unique
word or phrasing choices, and convincing endings. This contest is intended for
beginning writers. If you have received more than $1000 for your fiction
writing from any source on the date you submit your story, and/or have
published, in any paying publication, a novel or multiple shorter works adding
up to more than 40,000 words you are no longer eligible. If you are unsure,
send us your publication history...
A qualifying story must have strong science fiction or fantasy elements and
must be shorter than 7,500 words. Stories must be original works of fiction,
submitted by their authors. No reprints, fan fiction, or poetry, please...
All submissions must be made via email to storycontest@xxxxxxxxxxx in flat
text, rich text, PDF, or any format readable by MS Word, Open Office, or
LibreOffice. Please include your submission as an attachment rather than in the
body of the email. Story pages should be numbered, with the page number and the
title of the story at the top of each page...
The contest will be limited to the first 50 or 75 qualifying entries,
depending on the size of our first-reader group. We will change this note when
we receive the maximum number of qualifying entries... /50-75 bidrag verkar
inte ha uppnåtts än, men skynda med bidrag!/
Winners will be chosen by a final panel of judges, including at least one
professional writer.
The winner, runners-up, and honorable mentions will be announced during the
awards ceremony at Boskone, in NESFA’s newsletter following Boskone, and in
various electronic media, including e-zines, newszines, and the Boskone and
NESFA websites, blogs, and Facebook pages. The winner will receive a
certificate of achievement, three NESFA Press books, and a free membership to
their choice of the next Boskone or to the Boskone after that. Runners-up will
receive a certificate and two NESFA Press books. Honorable mentions will
receive a certificate and one NESFA Press book...
Please place your contact information (name, preferred email address, phone
number, and preferred postal address - for possible awards) either in the body
of the email with the story attached or in a separate attachment to the same
email. Don’t put your personal information anywhere in your story. "
