Welcome to the Elftown Prose Contest. If you can't follow the rhythm of poetry, or just like writing stories, this is the contest for you!

Contest Opens: 2011-05-02
Contest Closed: 2011-08-15

Theme: Horror

Moderators: [Nioniel] & [windowframe]

Rules:

1 - Your entry must fit the theme of the contest. Entries which do not follow the theme will be disqualified and removed.

2 - No stealing literature. The entry MUST be written by you. If anyone is found to be stealing the work of others they will be disqualified from this and all future official written competitions.

3 - Old work is allowed. Old works are allowed in this contest, provided they have not already been submitted to another official Elftown Competition and fit the theme. If your work has been submitted in an unofficial competition, then you are still free to enter it here.

4 – No pornography or excessive violence. Use your common sense as to what would be acceptable and what not, but the crew's decision in this matter is final.

5 - Your story must be no fewer than 500 words and no more than 3000.

6 - You may submit one entry for this contest.

7 - Quality restrictions. If you want us to put effort into reading your work, put effort into writing it. Submissions with exceptionally bad spelling and/or grammar will be disqualified. If your writing isn't going to make the cut, we'll put a comment underneath the entry saying so.

8 - Queries. If you wish to discuss something about how the competition is run, or the rules, then please use the official competitions forum: <forum:Elftown contests>! If you wish to query whether a certain entry fits the theme, please do so before the deadline. However, if you wish to query whether an entry is stolen or breaks any other rules, you may still bring this up after the contest has closed.

What will we be expecting? Creativity & Originality!

Theme: Horror

Entries not following the theme will be removed.

Up to two stories will be picked out by the Literature Judges from all those presented.

Participants will receive green worm badges, and winners will receive a coloured version of the same.
