About

The world is filled with ideas and overflowing with visions of the future. What will it be like? Will society change dramatically? Or will things stay the same only slightly different? Each year Altair Australia Pty Ltd will accept all stories that challenge either the way we see ourselves in the future, or how the world is represented in the future. This vision could be a science fiction, fantasy, horror, romance, thriller, crime view, or a contemporary view following the lives of people as they adjust to the new, or who are entrenched in the modern way we have yet to experience. The Future Visions Award is not genre specific, as it has been decided a set genre platform would be limiting and restrictive to what writers want to, or need to say.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.
