We’re excited to announce that Sibyl’s Scriptorium is reopening for the 2022 contest year!

During the down time SibScript has reorganized and revamped the contests. The new contest year will be comprised of 2 entry terms: one for fantasy entries and one for science fiction entries. Winners will be selected from each of the terms and published in Sibyl’s Scriptorium volume 5. If you have something that could qualify as both SF&F pick the term you feel it matches best.

The DragonComet Short Story Contest and Æther illustration contests are officially accepting entries for the Fantasy entry term beginning today, October 1, 2021.

The Science Fiction entry term will open on March 1, 2022 and end April 30, 2022.

We’re excited to be back and can’t wait to see what creations are ahead.
