You! Young things!

MICROFICTION PROJECT for the 2004 NEXT WAVE FESTIVAL

Look up and see the text in lights. Voice­works magazine¹s Microfiction
pro­ject for the 2004 Next Wave Fest­ival takes fic­tion off the page and
places it on public screens at ACMI and around the Mel­bourne CBD from 18 to
30 May 2004.

We’re look­ing for extremely short stor­ies by young Aus­tralian writers to
splice into the reg­u­lar pro­gram­ming on tele­type tick­ers and LCD screens,
infus­ing public spaces with a little fic­tion energy. The pro­ject encourages
young writers to exper­i­ment with nar­rat­ives con­strained by a limit of 25
words and takes their art to a broad audience.

We’re accept­ing up to 10 pieces of writ­ing of 25 words each from people
under 30 years old. The guidelines are attached, email us if you need more
info.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: 1 APRIL 2004
