UBIE Story Contest: How We Made Basic Income Happen

Dear Friend,

In our previous email, you may have noticed our newly launched story writing contest "How We Made Basic Income Happen". In this email we will tell you a bit more about it. Scrool down or click on the image below to learn more!

UBIE is running a story contest on Basic Income! We’re looking for creatives who can write a fictional story on how we have achieved making Basic Income a reality in Europe.

If you can write a story from the perspective of a future (2030; 2050; 2525; your choice!) in which we have managed to make Basic Income happen and describe how life changed as a result, then you’re the author we’re looking for!

How can you participate?

• Write your story (between 1000-2000 words)
• Publish it anywhere where it can be publicly visible (your own blog, on Medium, a Story on your Facebook profile, or anywhere you can share a link to)
• Share it with a post on your most active social media channel using the hashtag #HowWeMadeBasicIncomeHappen, also tagging UBIE (find us on facebook, twitter and instagram)
• Send us the link to that post on [email protected] so we can keep track and you’re good to go!

The story that gets the most interactions (likes, comments, reshares) until the end of the year (Thursday, 31 December, 2020 by midnight CET) will win a signed copy of Philippe Van Parijs’ and Yannick Vanderborght’s book “Basic Income. A Radical Proposal for a Free Society and a Sane Economy”!!!

Kind greetings on behalf of the UBIE Core Group,
