String Theory 2015 - Science Fiction Writing Contest

So String Theory is back for Pragyan 2015 better than ever!

String Theory is a science fiction writing contest that's a held yearly as a part of Pragyan - the technical festival of our college NIT Trichy.

This time, the contest will have two rounds. In the first round you have to submit a short 150 word 'teaser' for a story based on one of the two themes mentioned in the poster. If you're selected for the first round, you'll be invited to write a longer, more elaborate 600 word story that expands on your teaser.

Your entries will be judged by Anil Menon.

If you win, you'll be given an opportunity to write an entry for Penumbra, an online magazine! A brilliant opportunity for all budding sci fi writers out there.
