CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS NOW ENDED.
Calling all doodlers, ponderers, writers, poets and dreamers!
Submit a short story for a chance to be part of an exciting and unique, collaborative public art project in Redcliffe, Bristol.
Following the success of the Bristol Story Trail earlier in the year, get ready for Future Way brought to you by Dream of a Shadow, an online project bridging the gap between reality and fantasy through storytelling.
Working with The Redcliffe Neighbourhood Development Forum, Future Way seeks to engage the people of Redcliffe and the wider community of Bristol through a playful and exciting exploration of the area using storytelling.
“The Redcliffe Neighbourhood Development Forum is a community group whose mission is to re-imagine and re-make Bristol’s Redcliffe Way.”
This is an amazing opportunity for published authors and budding writers in Bristol to collaborate with artists, architects and community groups in a first-of-its-kind, art project which challenges the way we view our city.
Stories will be “tagged” to locations within Redcliffe in 250 word (max) sections, forming a series of fictional trails to be followed through the physical city. These tags can be scanned via QR codes, revealing a virtual fiction immersing the reader between realities in a format used by the Bristol Story Trail.
Contributors are encouraged to think about how Redcliffe may be used in the future and set tales within this. Because of the nature of the project, the brief is quite specific and submissions must meet the following criteria:
- All entries must be set in the future Redcliffe area (how far is up to you)
- All entries should be in 3-5 sections of 250 words (max) each, forming a trail through the area
- Each section is planned to be tagged to a specific point within Redcliffe, i.e. a wall, lamp post, street, door etc.
The deadline for submissions is 12pm, Monday 20th April 2015, so there’s plenty of time to get writing.
Please submit your story together with suggested tag locations for each defined section (photographs would be ideal).
All entries to be submitted by email to livingfictionbristol@gmail.com
All genres are encouraged | Writers of all experience levels are encouraged | Entry is free | There is no limit on the number of entries
Winners will be announced on Monday 27th April 2015. Each selected author’s work will be featured in the Redcliffe Future Way Project and will appear in exhibitions later in the year (naturally fully credited).
For any queries tweet us @DoaSLiveFiction or email livingfictionbristol@gmail.com and be sure to follow to stay up to date!
