"
Grist is excited to open submissions for the fourth year of our Imagine
2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors short story contest.
Imagine 2200 is an invitation to writers from all over the globe to imagine a
future in which solutions to the climate crisis flourish and help bring about
radical improvements to our world. We dare you to dream anew.
We are thrilled to also announce the judges for our 2024/25 contest: Omar El
Akkad and Annalee Newitz. El Akkad is an author and journalist whose
award-winning debut novel,
American War, is an international bestseller and
was selected by the BBC as one of 100 Novels That Shaped Our World. Newitz is a
science fiction and nonfiction writer whose third novel,
The Terraformers is
a finalist for the Nebula Award, and whose latest nonfiction book,
Four Lost
Cities, is a national bestseller.
The premise
Imagine 2200 celebrates stories that envision the next decades to centuries of
equitable climate progress, imagining futures of abundance, adaptation, reform,
and hope. We are looking for stories that are rooted in creative climate
solutions and community-centered resilience, showing what can happen as
solutions take root, and stories that offer gripping plots with rich characters
and settings, making that future come alive.
In 2,500 to 5,000 words, show us the world you dream of building."
