The moment that we have been waiting for has arrived. We had a total of 84 submissions to the contest. Many of them were quite good. The response from the public has been quite positive so that we have decided to continue this competition in the future as well. Here are the winners of the Islamicate Science Fiction Short Story Contest.
- First Prize: Alex Kreis’s story Calligraphy delves infinite patterns, the word of God and Islamic Calligraphy
- Second Prize: R. F. Dunham’s story Insha’Allah takes a fascinating take on the concept of freewill, freedom and algorithmic prediction
