We at the Dream Foundry are always pleased to round out the second half of the year with our Emerging Writer and Artist Contests. This is always a deeply heartening part of the year, as we get to see the sheer quality of work that is out there in the speculative arts and especially those who are new and emerging. Finalists this year were chosen by Julia Rios and Dante Luiz for the writing and art contests respectively and passed along to judges writing contest judges L.D. Lewis and Sarah Gailey, and art contest judges Mateus Manhanini and Daniela Viçoso.

Contest winners will be announced in December, and all finalists have been given priority, pre-lottery seating to workshops at Flights of Foundry 2023.
