Hey, kids!
Are you looking for a bit of cash?
Students ages 11 to 18 can write a Halloween story for a chance to win money from the Coquitlam and Port Moody public libraries.
The deadline to get your entry in the annual Scary Story Contest is Wednesday, Oct. 20 at 11:59 p.m.
And, for this year’s competition, young scribes are asked to pen a spooky tale that contains the following words:
- disquieting
- loathsome
- uncanny
Stories must not go over the 500-word mark.
Accolades of $50 for first place, $30 for second place and $20 for third place will be awarded in each of the two age categories: 11–14 and 15–18.
