Hi
Would you mind sharing details of our upcoming series of 'green stories' writing competitions we're running? My research shows that solution based stories, or stories that smuggle in green ideas/characters in the context of an otherwise mainstream story are more likely to inspire greener behaviours than catastrophic tales of climate change. So as a way to raise awareness, we ask writers to check out potentially transformative solutions on our website www.greenstories.org.uk and integrate them into their story. We have a playwriting competition (deadline June 2019), a radio play/series competition (deadline July 2019), a novel competition (deadline August 2019) and other formats (film tv etc.). All are free to enter and we have prizes (including student category) and routes to production/publication set up.
We are also running a writers workshop on 19/20 January 2019 to generate ideas - see https://store.southampton.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/southampton-business-school/events/writing-for-sustainability-workshop
I'd be grateful if you would promote across your networks. We want writers to know about this and are also keen to get judges on board or any organisations that may want to sponsor a prize or production companies/agents/publishers who may want to be involved.
Thanks
Denise
