October 2024 Writing Contest Awards

Published on 31 October 2024 at 09:55

Congratulations to the winners of the October writing contest! The theme was HORROR, SUPERNATURAL, & PARANORMAL.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this month's Flash Fiction and Poetry Contest! First, I'd like to congratulate everyone on a job well-done. The stories and poems submitted this month were each spooky, creepy, or otherwise fitting of the prompt. There really are no losers and I thoroughly enjoyed reading each and every submission.

 

I encourage you to read the work of all the participants and to support them on their own writing journeys. These writing contests are about community and supporting one another as writers. One way we can do that is by reading each other's work and celebrating each other's accomplishments. I'll be featuring stories and poems by some of these artists throughout November, but you can also find some of their work at the links below.

Contest Winners:

First Place: "Floored" by Sartorius (coming soon!)

Second Place: "Out After Dark" by John Grim
