One good way for new authors to become recognized is a contest. What contests exist that:
- Accept short stories
- Occur on a regular (annual, semi-annual, bi-annual, etc.) basis
- Are friendly to unpublished authors
- Ideally provide a good amount of publicity within the target market.
If the contest caters to a specific genre or has important entrance criteria, those would be helpful to note.
Answer
Writers of the Future is for SF/F, but it's the longest-running contest in the genre, and carries significant fame and prestige. No other contest comes close. WotF is specifically for unpublished writers, and occurs once a quarter. Check the website for entrance dates and other information.
