Något kallat The TOmorrow Project söker bidrag till en antologi:

"The Tomorrow Project" is an international program that explores and creates 
science fiction based on science fact. The project features science fiction 
stories, comics and short screen plays based on current research and emerging 
technologies and examines their affect on our future. 
The Tomorrow Project – Seattle will result in an anthology of science fiction 
based on science fact, featuring an original story from Cory Doctorow. We are 
looking for short fiction, comics and short screenplays based upon current 
scientific research and technology development. Research currently being 
conducted by the University of Washington and Intel in the fields of synthetic 
biology, computer security, robotics, DNA sequencing and bio/chemical sensing, 
minute architecture, ray tracing/virtual reality and computer vision will serve 
as the basis to inspire authors of science fiction. Highlighting the seven 
research topics, the Tomorrow Project Seattle asks people to think about what 
the future will look like when these technologies affect our everyday lives. 
The Tomorrow Project Seattle is hosted by the University of Washington. 
Although the Tomorrow Project is not a competition, submissions will be 
reviewed by an editorial board managed by the University of Washington 
including members from academia and industry. The stories accepted for 
publication by the editorial board will be complied into an anthology. The 
anthology will be published online and available as a free electronic download. 
A limited number of physical books will be printed for the authors (each author 
will receive two printed copies) and events. The Project host and sponsors will 
be doing some publicity and distribution of the anthology. 
The call for submissions is an open invitation to authors, comic artists and 
filmmakers. Submissions must be based on one or more of the research video 
topics included in The Tomorrow Project YouTube video interviews that can be 
found below along with prescribed submission requirements. 

Submit Steps: 
Submissions can be short fiction, comics or short screenplays based upon 
current scientific research and technology development. 
Your submission must be based on one or more of the video topics included in 
the YouTube video interviews on this page. 
Make sure to adhere to all submission requirements. 
Submissions are due by June 15, 2011, Midnight Pacific Standard Time. 
Authors whose work is accepted for publication in the anthology will be 
contacted during the month of August 2011."
