Today is going to be a good day. The sun is shining and I have several great science fiction stories to read. They’re all part of the Visions of Science Imagine 2008 young writers competition and I have the honour of being one of the competition judges.

What is Visions of Science? From their website:

Visions of Science Network for Learning Inc (VoSNL) is a not-for-profit organization that advances the educational achievements and career aspirations of African Canadian and other under-represented youth in the fields of science, mathematics and technology.

In addition to running weekly science clubs and student science exhibitions, VoSNL also runs the Imagine short story and poster contest. Students from across Canada were challenged to write and submit a short science fiction story that features a protagonist who is a visible minority. The winners of the competition will be recognized at the upcoming VoSNL 17th Annual Science & Technology Symposium in Toronto on May 10th, 2008.
