Creative writing contest: Writing Times Halloween Competition

With its closing date of 31 October, Writing Times’ Halloween competition invites scary prose and spooky poems
Writing Times is looking for macabre and gothic tales with strong visualisation and a bold writing style.
Short stories may be between 500 and 1,500 words, and flash fiction between 100 and 1,000 words. Poems may be any length. In both cases judges will be looking for interesting and original takes on the Halloween competition theme.
Winners in the short story/flash fiction and poetry categories will each win £50 and will be published in Writing Times.
There is a fee of £4 per entry.
The closing date is 31 October 2015.
