Is there any advantage to submitting through Circalit rather than submitting straight to LBA?
I've copied and pasted from the email they sent me, so to be honest I haven't checked it out. But I am a member of Circalit and trust it as a site, so I'd suggest perhaps joining and taking it from there? They have run several competitions in the past and I know they hope to do so in the future and they tend to be quite diverse in themes and organisers etc.
I'm pretty sure the sci-fi competition is a separate one.
Hope this helps
