Det här är öppet för alla (flera språk godtas men engelska är nog bäst och
krävs som sammanfattning). Deadline 1 sep:

" Borders have always been a central political problem. Discussions of national
and territorial boundaries, ethnic geo-rootedness, many kinds of -exits, mark
our news feeds. Digital border crossings challenge and hack into political
manipulations as well as offer new possibilities of techno-cosmopolitanism and
even of new possibilities in egalitarian social identity. Geopolitical borders
often overlap with other kinds of borders such as socioeconomic borders, racial
borders, and borders framing sexual identity.
The theme is dedicated to thresholds and borders, as well as new frontiers
and new beginnings. In his essay «The race for space» Duke Ellington states
that a society using its power to suppress its minorities never will achieve
greatness. Our future is at stake, and we must explore possibilities in
alternative futures, where borders can be and are transgressed.
Our aim in this competition is to promote the movement of science fiction
works that, as a concept and as an artefact of the social, offer new
possibilities in border crossings.
We would especially welcome work from authors from regions which, while
making a mark especially in recent years in literary avenues, continue to be
numerically under-represented in the global science fiction space. Such regions
would include for instance the Nordic region, the Arab world, Africa, South
Asia, East and Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and Central and
South America. The competition is however border free, and is open to all
internationally.
Entries need to be previously unpublished and not under consideration
elsewhere. Stories need to range from 3000-3500 words, and should preferably be
in English. Stories in other languages are equally welcome but they must be
accompanied by an English translation. Story and cover letter must be submitted
electronically in doc or rtf format. Only one entry per person is allowed.
Up to seven stories will be selected and competition winners will be
published in a special themed volume (ISBN registered) in Spring 2018 and will
be given a one-time award of NOK6000/~US$700. The deadline for entries is 1st
September 2017.
Entries can be sent to the editor, Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay at
