Are you ready for some spooktacular fun? Dust off the cobwebs and sharpen those scary pencils. Once again, The Wanderer is hosting three Halloween contests to get you into the Halloween spirit!
Contest 1 – The Halloween Story Contest – Write a story, and maybe even win a prize! During the month of October, The Wanderer prints Halloween stories submitted by our readers and the writer of the best story wins a $250 gift certificate to any of our display advertisers!
The deadline for the story contest is Friday, October 9 at noon, in order to give our judges enough time to read the entries. Stories will be printed in the October 15, 22, & 29 editions of The Wanderer. The winner will also be announced in the October 29 edition.
Contest 2 – The Halloween Cover Contest – Your best Halloween artwork could be on the cover of The Wanderer and you could win a great prize! Submit your best original Halloween drawing, photo, compilation or artwork to enter for publication on our October 29 cover.
Deadline for submitting artwork is Friday, October 16 at noon. Online voting will take place from October 18 to October 26. The cover winner will win a $250 gift certificate to any of our display advertisers and his or her artwork will be on the October 29 cover of The Wanderer!
Contest 3 – Facebook Photo Contest – Gather up your best Halloween Photo and submit it to us at support@wanderer.com by November 3. We’ll be posting them on Facebook and letting everyone choose the top photos. The top winners will all receive a special yet-to-be-determined prize! Stay tuned at www.facebook.com/wanderer.
