Hey everyone. My site, Scribophile (
Scribophile, the social writing workshop and writer's community) is hosting a writing contest for the month of February. It's free to enter;
1st prize is a $30 gift card to Amazon.com, 2nd prize is a $15 gift card to Amazon.com. Winning works will be displayed and archived at the contest page and possibly around the site (to be determined).
The contest starts on Feb 1 and is accepting works until Feb 29. Winners are announced on March 7 (this date may change, check the official page if you're not sure).
Some handy details:
-We're sick of regular old Valentine's day writing contests. So for this contest, we're adding a twist. Your short story will be a supernatural/ghost/horror story, but featuring elements or themes relating to Valentine's day. Maybe a monster will terrorize the neighborhood by dropping bloody hearts onto people's beds. Maybe the kids at school will pass out cursed Valentine's that fortell your death. Maybe Cupid has a secret dark side. Make it as serious or as silly as you like!
-Your short story must be between 2,000 and 4,000 words, as measured by our site.
-Your short story must PROMINENTLY FEATURE BOTH 1) an element or theme of the supernatural/uncanny, and 2) an element or theme relating to Valentine's day.
-Entries will be judged by the Scribophile staff, taking into consideration the ratings given by Scribophile members. Decisions are final.
-You can only submit one entry.
