All writers, bloggers, and journalists are invited to enter an essay or short story that follows this year's prompt:
In the future, how do you understand what is real and what is fake?
The prize package includes a SXSW Platinum Badge, airline voucher, and four night stay in Austin – total prize value of $4,000 USD. Read the complete Giveaway Rules here and please direct all questions about the David Carr Prize to brianna@sxsw.com.
