Gunn Center Award for Speculative Fiction


The founder of the Gunn Center for the Study of SF, James E. Gunn was committed to the idea that science fiction, as the literature of change and the human species, could inspire its readers to shape the future. In honor of Professor Gunn’s legacy and ideals, this competition is open to both graduate and undergraduate students, honoring the best speculative fiction story written in a KU English class.
