Two-Sentence Horror Story Contest Start

Write the scariest story in two sentences! This contest will see which teen can tell Cheltenham's most chilling horror story. The winner will receive a gift card and free book!

Ages 13 to 18. Submission period October 1 to 31.

Directions: At Elkins Park & Glenside Library, look for the Submissions box in the Teen Area. There will be slips of paper for you to submit your work. Please write your name, age, phone, and email at the top, and then write your story below. Once finished, please fold up the slip of paper and place it in the submissions box. All stories will be displayed anonymously for patrons to read. In November, the librarians will read through and choose their winner (or top 3 if there are many submissions) and contact them so they can get their prize.
