[i]It's that time of the night. Tales that send shivers down your very bones- or make you howl in laughter- are shared, and the season of eager, young tricksters going out to gather the goods known as "candy" are everywhere.[/i]

[h3]That's right- it's [color=f7941d]Halloween![/color][/h3]

[h3]It's a contest with a Halloween twist. The following rewards can be earned from this contest:[/h3]

[list][*][b][color=fff200]Favorite Halloween Entry:[/color][/b] The most intriguing snack among the entries! That isn't to say any of the entries are bad- it's just that this snack has that particular shine on its wrapping. [b](2 Credits)[/b]

[*][b][color=f7941d]Honorary Snack Entry:[/color][/b] Snacks that are [u]second[/u]-best or [u]third[/u]-best to the top contender. Who said that you can only have one favorite? [b](1 Credit)[/b]

[*][b][color=f9ad81]Narration Bonus:[/color][/b] Feeling up to set a tone with your voice? Submit an additional recording with a narration of your story to earn this bonus. [b](1 Credit)[/b]

[*][b][color=a187be]Visual Trickster Entry:[/color][/b] An art submission. Some snacks look pretty good, y'know. [b](1 Credit)[/b][/list]

[hr]

Remember, [b][u]your first submission will be the only submission counted towards Credit Review, regardless of whether it is Art or Writing[/u][/b].

Art Submissions cannot win the Favorite/Honorary Snack Awards, as they're guaranteed an extra Credit anyway.

Keep the above in mind depending on what side of the contest you're shooting for. And obviously, your entry must also be related to a Halloween theme in some way.

My suggestion for your submission is to make your story capable of letting all readers follow along. It often helps not only the reviewing process work a bit more to your favor, but also let others understand it better. It's weird to get a treat you can't understand, after all.

[center][h3][color=f26522]I look forward to your submissions![/color][/h3][/center]
