Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest have left an indelible impact on the fields of science fiction and fantasy. With more than three decades of developing new professional writers, the impact that the Contest has had on the field is impossible to measure. The Contest was formed for a purpose beyond simply giving awards, it was intended to help foster the next generation of master writers. Budrys (Renowned author, critic, and one of the judges of the contest) developed a world-class workshop to accompany the awards ceremony. The prototype workshop was held in Taos, New Mexico, with fellow authors (and Contest judges) Frederik Pohl and Gene Wolfe. L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Contest is an opportunity for new writers of science fiction and fantasy to have their work judged by some of the masters in the field and discovered by a wide audience.See more available <a href="https://www.for9a.com/en/opportunity/category/Events-Festivals-and-Conferences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">events and conferences</a> on For9aSee more <a href="https://www.for9a.com/en/opportunity/category/Scholarships" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">scholarships</a> available on For9a
