Donate To Future Folklore's Climate Fiction
Contest & Help Change The World
It is time the world heard
the story of climate
change!
Help Future Folklore spread the
message by donating to their climate
fiction contest fundraiser! Alexis
Mercedes, a project manager for small
creative teams, has launched a
crowdfunding page for Future Folklore, a
climate fiction writing contest.
The contest aims to spread
the story of climate by
inviting writers to submit
entries to a climate fiction
anthology.
Future Folklore does not
charge submission fees,
enabling writers from all
walks of life to apply.
Future Folklore aims to
publish an anthology of tales
that imagine a fair and
inclusive future.
Climate fiction, a subgenre of
speculative fiction, focuses on
the consequences of climate
change such as global
warming.
Climate change challenges
us to look ahead to how life
might be for future
generations and this requires
imagination.
As Alexis Mercedes
explains: "This is more
important than ever
because imagination invents
reality."
Using short story prompts, the
contest invites writers to reflect
on topics such as colonization,
supremacist ideologies, and
humans' effect on the Earth.
Future Folklore uses half of all
fundraising contributions to
award prize money to writers -
a winner, runners-up and other
noteworthy mentions.
