Short Story Contest 2021

This year we want to read short stories on the theme of science fiction, a genre that holds so much more than space and aliens (though of course you can write about that too!). Speculative science, time travel, artificial intelligence and parallel universes - the possibilities are endless!

Send your entry to cred@ergo.us.uu.se by Sunday 3rd of October at the latest. Write “Short story contest” as the subject.

The winning short story will be published at ergo.nu in the Fall and be rewarded with a 2000 kronor gift voucher at Uppsala Bokhandel (Uppsala bookshop).

Rules:

– The contestant must be a student at Uppsala University.
– The entry must be written in English or Swedish.
– The entry must be between 5 000 and 10 000 characters long, including blanks (spaces).
– The entry must not have been published in any other medium previous to the competition, including, for example, private blogs.
– Only one author per entry is allowed.
– The story must take place in Uppsala and pertain to the theme “science fiction”.

This contest is arranged in collaboration with Uppsala bokhandel.
