Free to enter writing competition
Thanks to Sharon for sending me the link to this Christmas ghost story competition. As Sharon says, it doesn't actually have to be a Christmas story. First prize is £100. Max word count, 5,000. (That's the Boo)
This competition is for unpublished authors only. They must be citizens of, or living in the UK or Ireland. The first prize is £3,000, with runners up prizes of £1,000. Max word count 5,000. (Boo hoo, I can't enter!)

Thanks Sharon and Patsy for the comp info. I think the boo is that when I clicked on the second link it said competition closed! Checked elsewhere on the website and the closing date seems to have been yesterday. (Like many, I couldn’t have entered anyway!)
Thank you, Sharon and Patsy. The ghost one is definitely for me. I know the Toasted Cheese will be announced 1st October (deadline 21st December) but they seem to vary their generally ghost theme. I'm afraid I couldn't play in the summer one (non-genre - whatever that really means). I'll put it on here when I see it.
Thank you very much Patsy and Sharon. I shall definitely have a go at the Christmas Ghost story. I've just entered the Best Halloween comp - love writing spooky!

Crowvus hold a Xmas ghost story competition too, but there is a fee.
I haven't got a Halloween one for the best comp.
I'm not good at writing with seasons or special days in mind, although I can just about manage Xmas and valentine's.
I've entered the write time competition this year, for the first time.
Has anyone had their entries placed in their competition?
Just did a quick check from my spreadsheet, Sharon: 12, sometimes more than one in a session, over a two-three year period. Not once placed. Varied: ghost, romance, humour, sci-fi. Hey ho.
