The 2023 Grist Climate Fiction Writing Story Contest for Global Writers
The 2023 Grist Climate Fiction Writing Story Contest is an annual writing competition that is available to global writers who are concerned with climate fiction. The contest is hosted by Grist, an independent media organization that focuses on environmental news and analysis. The goal of the contest is to inspire writers to explore the impacts of climate change on society and to inspire readers to take action on climate change. This contest is open to all genres of writing, including science fiction, fantasy, literary fiction, and more.
This contest has diverse themes every year, and writers are requested to submit stories that explore those themes in the context of climate change. The themes are expected to be related to climate change and its impact on society. The contest offers a grand prize of $3,000 for the winning story, and also a publication on the Grist website. There are also three runner-up prizes of $200 each. The winning and runner-up stories will also be published on the Grist website.
Therefore, Grist is delighted to reveal the third-annual climate fiction short story contest, Imagine 2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors.
