Systems Change Alliance is inviting writers to be part of the Flash Fiction Challenge, to envision how our societies might evolve in the months and years beyond COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected communities around the world, has proven that, when deemed necessary, the governing powers can implement massive changes to our day-to-day realities in a matter of hours. So what could life on earth look like after this global event? What possibilities have been unleashed? 

Submission Requirements:

In the flash fiction piece, the writer should give a snapshot into a post-pandemic world in which a shift towards positive systems change has occurred and a new paradigm is established or unfolding.

While we know this is a challenging time and theme, we want to remain solution-focused. For this reason, Systems Change Alliance is not looking for a depressing or dystopian take on the post-pandemic reality.

Systems Change Alliance is looking for an original take on ideas that underpin the vision of Systems Change Alliance platform, those of economic democracy, ecological sustainability, resilient communities, equality, and spiritual values.

The submitted story should be fresh, vivid, engaging, inspiring, and convincing and will bring hope to a global population burdened by this microscopic yet colossal threat.

The word limit for the story is 1000-1250 words, entries should be in English, double-spaced.

Awards:

  • 1st Prize – 300 EU
  • 2 Runners Up – 100 EU
