I didn't have room for the free competitions in my post earlier this week, so here are a couple now ...
This competition is for UK writers of poetry and fiction who are from under represented backgrounds. The list of people who qualify is long and includes things such as being from a working class background or having sensory impairment, as well as categories you'd expect to see. There's a great prize package including cash, mentorship, manuscript assessment and a writing course.
Thanks to Alyson Hillborne for passing me a link to this competition. You're asked to submit '3,000- to 5,000-word stories that envision the next 180 years of climate progress'. Twelve cash prizes are on offer, with £3,000 going to the winner down to $300 for other finalist.

There are genres of hopepunk and solarpunk??? An interesting competition, thanks Patsy.
That first one has unique requirements. Hopefully a lot of people enter.
Probably not for me but it might be challenge me to think about scifi/future/fantasy genres. Nothing to stop me drafting something even if it doesn't get any further. Thank you.
@ Bubble – Apparently so!
@ Alex – I imagine they will.
@ Marguerite – Totally agree with having a quick go and seeing what comes of it. I've surprised myself at times doing that.
