Today is the day! The deadline for submitting entries is Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 5 p.m. If you want to have your scary stories considered, they must be received by then. So far, TBN has some interesting entries! And, we have more sponsors and prizes coming in every day! Check TBN tomorrow for a complete breakdown of sponsors and prizes that will go to the winner of our Halloween Spooktacular!

 

Sponsors are beginning to line up with a ton of prizes for the first ever Halloween Spooktacular. The essays are pouring in as well. Better send in your stories so you can win! We have prizes coming in from Cheeseburger in Paradise, Papa Johns, Save the Music, Chillin’Time and more!

TheBAYNET.com loves a good ghost story as much as our readers. That is why we are creating the most extravagant “Halloween Spooktacular” ever! We can do that, because we know TBN readers love to get involved, and involved they will be!

On Friday, Oct. 24, the whole day will be dedicated to reader supplied stories about spooks, ghosts, goblins, ghouls, witches and more. TBN will post one story every hour as a main spotlight. TBN readers get to use the comments section under each story to rate the story and vote for their favorite. At the end of the day, TBN will announce the winner.

All chosen contestants will receive a free Papa Johns Pizza for their efforts. Dust off your scary story and join the fun!

Here’s how the Halloween Spooktacular contests work:

Ghost/Scary Story Contest – Send us your favorite, most well written original ghost/Halloween story between now and Oct. 22. Stories must be of your own creation, although they can be fiction or from experience.

TBN editors will pick the best eight stories to display on TBN. The best storyteller as voted by our readers will win a Halloween ‘Trick or Treat’ bag full of goodies compliments of TBN and its sponsors.

 

Rules: Each submitted story must be accompanied by the submitter’s name and address. Names will be used in the byline of the story. Also each story must have one picture submitted at the same time. It may be a picture of the author or a work of art created to go along with the story. TBN Spotlight stories must have a picture or they will be rejected.

All stories must be original and not copied from any other source. Submitters must put in writing in the body of the story that they have all rights and copyrights to the submitted materials.

No profanity will be accepted in any story. Blood and gore and scary stuff is great! Have fun and watch TBN for the week of Oct. 20 to Oct. 23 for all kinds of Halloween activities leading up to TBN’s Halloween Spooktacular on Oct. 24!

Send all entries to news@thebaynet.com and put SPOOKTACULAR CONTEST in the subject line.
