Thati the theme of a new collegiate fic tion contest, and a national scienc fiction magazine is paying $2,00 for the answers. With submission limited exclusively to undergradu ates in the United States an Canada, students will present thei prophesies in the form of a 10,000 word novelette, basing their predic tions on classroom work, their ow interpretations of the trends toda and their imaginations. The form of a novelette has bee selected as a medium by the editor of IF Magazine, sponsor of th contest, because 10,000 words ca be handled more easily by amateu writers than a long novel, whic requires too much time and ex perience.

Ideas, imagination and plausibil ity will count more than actus writing skill. The background ca be any phase of life. The seen can be a city, village or the coun try. Plots can be built around profession, a family group or single character. First pife is $1,000 in cash with six runners-up receiving a additional $1,000 in prizes.
