Humanity’s Next Top Ambassador

Are you a writer in the “1,000 words or less” space? Do you care about the future of humanity? Harbor a secret desire to be named the new Ambassador of the Human Race? 

This no-fee super fun writing contest may be for you!

Dear Aliens

The aliens are coming. Or at least they told us they were.

They asked us for just one item: a written document from humanity.

This is the only thing they are going to read before they arrive.

We have no idea what the document should be, so we’re asking you.

…

We’re giving $2,000 USD to the best submission. Second and third place get $250 each.

We’re going old school here. You’ll have to physically mail in your writing, and it needs to reach us before May 15, 2026.

(I bolded that last bit because prizes are nice, but also it’s been a while since most submissions had to use the mail, and while I love the whole concept of the postal service, it does not travel at the speed of the electron.)

We’d better get writing. And I for one am going to work on cultivating a slightly more positive outlook than I may have in the past (an example I still like, but would be a poor choice in this case! We Are Mirrors).

The fate of humanity may depend on it!

Religion & Science: Thoughts of a Common Jim 🏆 2025 BIBA® Religion & Philosophy Winner!

Have you ever watched and listened to any "science versus religion" debate and wondered if they were arguing from facts or emotions? It could be argued emotions, and this is where I make my case. Please note that I'm not trying to shoot down either side, but trying to point out some things that could improve their debate. #IARTG #WritingCommunity #WritingContest #writers #awardwinning https://bestindiebookaward.com/live/product/religion-science-thoughts-of-a-common-jim/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon&utm_campaign=ReviveOldPost
