Applications call for Jim Baen Memorial Short Story Award. Since its early days, science fiction has played a unique role in human civilization. It removes the limits of what is and shows us a boundless vista of what might be. Its fearless heroes, spectacular technologies and wondrous futures have inspired many people to make science, technology and space flight a real part of their lives and in doing so, have often transformed these fictions into reality. The National Space Society and Baen Books applaud the role that science fiction plays in advancing real science and have teamed up to sponsor this short fiction contest in memory of Jim Baen.
