🥈 Silver: 40 SCHOLAR, 2 SCRIBE, 1 HSBI, 200 Ecency points
🥉 Bronze: 30 SCHOLAR, 1 SCRIBE, 100 Ecency points

The 🥇 Gold winner will have the opportunity to be a third judge on the next Invitational. 😮

IN ADDITION- Each participant will get a modest review of their work from the modding team. With the additional opportunity of getting an in-depth critical review if they so choose. 🙂

🤺 Genre and Theme 🤺

The story you submit MUST adhere to the following prompts:

🎥 Genre: HORROR
🤹 Theme: DESPERATION

It's October, the spookiest month of the year. 😱 As such, it was obvious that horror would be our genre of choice. As for the theme, you can take it in several directions. Scholar and Scribe allow your imagination to roam free, so gore and explicit content are welcome if they suit your tale. Don't hold back! We want to read true horror! 👻

Your panel of judges will be @kemmyb and @grocko.

May the odds - and your creative energy - be ever in your favor!

We'd like to give out a big shout-out and thank you to Ecency for sponsoring this contest! 🤗

A big thank you to @melinda010100 as well for the seamless communication.

Check out the Ecency front-end and/or mobile app for more information on how to use your points.
