The Clarke-Bradbury International Science Fiction Competition
Inspiration
This competition has been named the Clarke-Bradbury International Science Fiction Competition in honor of two of the greatest science fiction writers of all times - Arthur C. Clarke and Ray Bradbury. Both Clarke and Bradbury, have fascinated the minds of millions of young and old people around the planet and inspired space scientists and explorers with their extraordinary stories.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." "The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible." |
I want to congratulate you on the initiative to launch a science fiction writing competition. I hope it will attract many entries, and inspire more and more young people to take to writing science fiction. Today's youth take for granted the marvels of modern technology many of which were envisioned in the science fiction of my youth (and some in my own stories!). Please keep me informed of your progress. All good wishes, |

"Back when I was twelve years old I was madly in love with L. Frank Baum and the Oz books, along with the novels of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, and especially the Tarzan books and the John Carter, Warlord of Mars books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I began to think about becoming a writer at that time." |
This is a letter to indicate my complete approval of and admiration for the concept of a Clarke-Bradbury International Science Fiction Competition. I look forward to further developments and will cooperate in every way possible during the next few months.
Good luck and best wishes, | |
