The following is all from AUTHONOMY, a site of Harper Collins, which includes HarperVoyager. I just didn’t bother with quotation marks.

The festival will explore the intersection of film and literature.
It doesn’t cost a thing, you simply need to register to get the programme of events.

Enter your Sci-Fi short story
As part of the festival, HC have launched a Sci-Fi short story writing competition. They are looking for stories of up to 5,000 words, that reflect one or several of the themes:
Tomorrow’s World – from post-apocalyptic wastelands to megacities to far-flung dystopia – best described by Ray Bradbury as ‘sociological studies of the future’.
Altered States – the science fiction of ‘inner space’ mad scientists, mutants, man-machines and mind-bending trips – what points us towards the fragile and untrustworthy thing that is consciousness.
Contact! – time to explore life from all corners of the universe and across multiple dimensions.
You do not need a literary agent to enter.
Terms & Conditions do apply and you can find them here: http://goo.gl/8Pzcp2
Your short story will be judged by HarperVoyager’s editorial director, Natasha Bardon.
The winner will be announced at an event at the beginning of December at the BFI Southbank and the prize will be your short story being published by HarperVoyager as a free ebook and widely available through HarperVoyager and BFI’s marketing channels.
You will also receive 2 pairs of tickets to the BFI film season (subject to availability) and a special goody bag of HarperVoyager books.

Thank you very much Sally. At the moment I am busy writing a novel, preparing a book for publication, getting my daughter prepared for college, and expanding my business.
But I will visit your site and explore your show and I thank you very much for the invitation.
