Changing borders

Explore the dynamics of personal, societal, or political boundaries: Where do they blur? Where are they breached? Where do new ones emerge? We are looking for stories that question traditional boundaries—be they geographical, interpersonal, or personal identity. Queer perspectives that challenge social norms are especially welcome. Show us boundaries that don't divide, but unite.

Invisible spaces

Lead us into worlds that exist in secret—places, identities, and experiences that rarely come into the public eye. We seek stories that make the invisible visible, that bring marginalized perspectives to life, and that give us insight into what we overlook in everyday life. Experiment with form and language to make the unseen tangible.

Solidarity of the future

What might a society look like in which we are truly there for one another? We are looking for speculative narratives that explore new forms of coexistence and mutual support. Design utopias or dystopias that challenge our current concepts of community, care, and responsibility. In times of increasing polarization: What might true solidarity look like?

Metamorphosis of the everyday

Transform the ordinary into something magical. We seek stories that give new meaning to the seemingly banal—an inconspicuous object, a fleeting encounter, an everyday moment that suddenly changes everything. Show us the wonder in the banal, the extraordinary in the ordinary. What happens when we see the everyday with different eyes?
