The 2023 finalists for the Roswell Award, and the winner of the New Suns Climate Fiction Award, have been announced.
Both are international short science fiction story competitions for writers aged 17 and older. The Roswell Award seeks stories that explore and connect themes such as social justice, feminism, identity, inequity, environmental sustainability, ethics, and technology. The New Suns Climate Fiction Award is for original short science fiction that reimagines new ways of living and depicts humanity exploring and overcoming today’s climate and biodiversity crises.
