The theme for this special contest is the Halloween holiday. This is a very popular contest with both writers and readers!
-- If you'd like to participate in this contest, please read this entire post. If you don't read the whole thing, you may miss out on important rules, rendering your story ineligible for the contest! --
This contest will coexist with the usual monthly contest. A story may only win one or the other, not both contests simultaneously. The prizes for the top 3 stories will be the same as those awarded in the monthly contests:
First Place: $150 Cash Prize
Second Place: $100 Cash Prize
Third Place: $75 Cash Prize
All rules for the monthly contests are in place. Like the Monthly contests, you can submit as many entries as you like. And like the Monthly contests, only one of your stories can place in the contest - that is, if you author the top two highest voted stories, only the top one will be eligible.
The only exceptions to the rules are:
• All submissions must be stand-alone stories created for this contest theme. We will not accept individual chapters of a larger work submitted separately. If you have a multi-chaptered contest-themed submission, please submit all chapters together as one story submission.
• We will allow authors who have won in our monthly contests within the last 6 months to win in this special contest. However, if you have won a prize in one of the last two special contests, you are not eligible to win in this one.
• A story has only to accrue 25 votes to be eligible, rather than the 50 required for the monthly contest.
• Author must copy and paste the phrase "HALLOWEEN 2022" to the "Notes to Admin" field of the submission (quotes are not needed).
Again -- PLEASE do not forget to put the EXACT phrase "HALLOWEEN 2022" IN THE "Notes to Admin" FIELD - NOT the description field or anywhere else. In fact, we recommend that you copy and paste to avoid typos. If it is not in the NOTES field – or if it's typoed - we cannot easily find your story and it may not be approved in a timely manner to be entered into the contest!!
• Submissions must have a Halloween theme: holiday folklore, Halloween traditions, scary things, supernatural, et cetera. Be creative! Please don't just submit a normal story with one dude in a Jason mask. That would not be in the spirit of the contest, and readers (aka voters) will likely punish you for your trickiness.
Visit the Halloween Official Support Thread, hosted by Duleigh for Oggbashan for more info and of course support and encouragement from your fellow authors.
Important Note: Once your story is submitted, it may take over 72 hours for it to be posted, or may be sent back to you for clarification/mending. We strongly suggest that you do not wait till the last day of the contest to submit your story. The sooner you submit, the better chance your story has of accruing the votes necessary to be eligible.
Good Luck to All, Happy Writing!
I agree about the request for the category to be included in the list. While I would love the time to be able to read them all, I could at least easily pick out the ones appropriate for my preferences if the categories were included. Thanks!
CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners .... and all those who submitted .... and those that read them too!
And thank you Lit for a wonderful contest!!!! Wooohoooo
I wish the list of Halloween stories and for any event really to include the category it's in.
I would like to submit a Halloween story with Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley, 18+, but I wonder if HP Saga is allowed, or if it is forbidden.
