Support this competition that will solicit original pieces of fiction, non-fiction and poetry from all members of the astrobiology community. Those who submit pieces are experts in their science and actively involved in the search for life in the Solar System and beyond, bringing a perspective that usually exists in scientific journals or in short bursts on social media. This contest provides an opportunity for them to creatively explore the “What Ifs?” of astrobiology and showcase their talents for all to admire.

Qualified panels made up of published science fiction writers, poets, and science journalists will judge the submissions and rank them first, second, third and honorable mention. Sponsoring this contest will publicly show your support for the field of astrobiology and the scientists who belong to it by acknowledging that they are more than their scientific knowledge.
