WHAT: Write a fun Halloween story!

Embrace the Halloween season and showcase your storytelling skills in this hauntingly fun competition!
WHEN: All entries must be submitted by noon (E.T.) on Wednesday, October 16.
WHY: Two grand-prize winners will be published in News-O-Matic articles. There will be one winner for each age range: 10 and younger and 11 to 14. Each winner will also get a $100 gift card!
