I don't know. Haven't heard anything about the 2011 contest entries other than "A Nation Ransomed," which apparently was long enough for its own book. No acknowledgement yet from the editors on sci-fi and kids' adventures submitted. I guess they're busy with the Orient Express kickstarter.

At this point, I'm waiting on the outcomes of three contests: the 2011 adventure contest, the sci fi contest, and the children's adventure contest. One winning entry from the 2011 contest has been published as a monograph, but not the other winning entries. No word yet on the two most recent contests. Chaosium has been silent as the tomb since the successful conclusion of the Orient Express kickstarter. Presumably that means they're busily preparing the new boxed adventure, a good thing, but updates on previously announced projects and the contests would be nice, too. ;)

Would Cyberpunk work as sci-fi for this purpose? I'm thinking of porting a custom setting to BRP and it might be usable for 2012 contest as a late entry if so.

Has some really cool elements- Psi Amps for psionics usage, seperated psionics skills, and the option to make netrunning a whole new environment, as well as bio-replacement synthetic bodies, and guidelines to creating implants and prosthetic parts and bodies. Real evocative of the system shock model of cyberpunk sci-fi.

While cyberpunk is definitely a valid sci-fi subgenre, you might check with the Chaosium guys to see if contest entries are still being accepted. The original deadline was August 30.

Just heard from Nick Nicario about the assorted adventure contests:

2011 BRP Adventure Contest -- Apparently all winning entries were published in the monograph "A Nation Ransomed." If you were told that your entry was a winner but didn't receive a copy of the monograph, contact Nick.

2012 Science Fiction Adventure Contest -- A monograph containing the winning entries is on the schedule to be printed.

2012 Children's Adventure Contest -- May have been forgotten. Give Megan a month to get back from vacation, then contact her.

FYI
