Project Infinity BP — Write a Story About Life on Earth when the Moon Was Forming

Overview
Project Infinity BP has issued an open call for short fiction that envisions terrestrial life in the epoch of the Moon's formation. The contest is open to writers in the United States and globally, with no specified deadline or entry fee. While the prize remains unspecified, the thematic focus is precise: narratives set on Earth during the period when the Moon was coalescing from debris after a giant impact. This prompt asks writers to engage with deep time and planetary science, yet the emphasis is on story—character, conflict, and the human or non-human experience of a world in cataclysm. The contest does not restrict genre, allowing for literary, speculative, or hybrid approaches. The absence of a fee and the global scope suggest an inclusive ethos, though the lack of a stated deadline or prize may indicate an early-stage or evolving opportunity. Writers should consider the curatorial vision: a fusion of scientific plausibility with imaginative depth. The best submissions will likely balance research with narrative drive, avoiding dry exposition or pure spectacle. The jury, unnamed, presumably seeks originality and emotional resonance within the given premise.
