General Competition Information

We are looking for Interactive Fiction pieces that in some way touch upon ideas around building a sustainable society or showcase green ideas, practices or technologies. If you’d prefer to create your story you can view the other mediums here.

Most stories and games set in the future are dystopian, meaning they have a pessimistic view of society. We encourage you to imagine a more positive settings and practices for your story. You can find out more about why we recommend positive stories here. Do feel free to draw upon the resources in this Green Stories website to write your story. Each story ideas/resources page provides links to articles/videos that describe the ideas behind it as well as ideas for how such information might be integrated into your story. For example you could write a piece of Interactive Fiction that promotes the well-being index and/or make use of ideas on our pages such as sustainable food, green energy, green transport, sharing economy etc.

The first output from our green stories short stories competition is now available to buy ‘Resurrection Trust‘ – a collection of funny, dark, mad, bad, upbeat, downbeat and fantastical short stories about living sustainably. It has a foreword by Caroline Lucas and review by Jonathon Porritt. It’s £3.99/£7.99 available on Amazon or even better https://www.hive.co.uk/ which allows you support your local bookshop. Writers may find it a useful source of ideas.
