In conjunction with Aftermath online literary magazine, The End of the World 2.0 short story competition is open to writers worldwide and has a prize pot totaling $1,400.
The magazine has a content of short stories, articles and essays which aims to raise awareness of how it is felt we are heading towards the end of civilisation. The competition has the same ethos.
Stories for both competition and magazine should be 1,500-5,000 words long. There is a fact sheet on the website of threats facing our environment and society which could provide inspiration; ‘wild postapocalyptic fantasies’ are not wanted.
