Towards an Accessible Future: SF Story Contest

I thought this contest might be of interest to the science fiction writers and fans of this community!

Excerpted from Redstone Science Fiction's call for submissions of visions of an accessible future. [full announcement on their website]

Redstone Science Fiction is calling for contest submissions that incorporate the values discussed in the essay The Future Imperfect by Sarah Einstein.

What does a world, or space station, or whatever look like when it has been designed to be accessible to everyone and how would people live together there?

The submissions should portray disability as a simple fact, not as something to be overcome or something to explain why a character is evil. The submissions should also incorporate the portrayal of disability in a world where universal access is a shared cultural value.
