CREEPY CHRISTMAS CHILLER COMPETITION 2012
We want to read stories set in the festive season which contain all the necessary ingredients to scare the Santa suits off us.
Many an excellent ghost story has been written for Christmas, yet whether you include a ghost in your story or not is entirely your choice.
Your story could be held on any of the three main days of Christmas, or set in a couple of months running up to the big event, or specifically within the twelve days of Christmas. Your story will include tension, suspense and all the elements needed to make us feel we are sharing the frightening experience of your character (or characters).
No min word count, max 2,000.
Two entry categories:
Cat One: Adult Cat Two: Ages 12-16 years.
Prizes for six winners, three in each category:

Good luck and best wishes :)

Can I just remind any one intending to enter any EWG comps, to pleeeeeeeeeeeease read the Terms and Conditions first?
I'll say it again as this is not a private thread, so to anyone out there
please READ the Terms and Conditions first.
Thank you.
Now that we're finally moved in and enjoying country life, I have my first evening with the local writers group tonight, so I'll pass on the details to the group too.
Thank you, Debby
May I also please remind anyone who may have an intention to enter to read the
Terms and Conditions
as it is obvious from a few entries received so far the T&Cs have not been followed.
We will not be able to enter entries that haven't met the T&Cs.
Thank you.
Nah! Get tough.
We'd appreciate it if you'd read the Terms and Conditions before sending your entry. http://erewashwriterscompetition.weebly.com/

Yes, please do. As mentioned to toothlight earlier the team of readers, and judges, vary from competition to competition, they're not always the same so you may find your luck is better next time (or worse, eeek).
