THE END IS NEAR!

After the submission portal closes on October 1st 2025, **20 Ghosties will be chosen at random to form The Jury!

General voting will continue until October 14th - after that the panel will vote on the top 5 most voted for stories!

Your duties (if you are selected for the Jury)…** • ****Read the top 5 entries with the most votes • Vote for your favourite top 3 short stories, ranking 1st, 2nd and 3rd place

Why do we need a jury? • When a financial reward is involved, sometimes people cheat, so having a final quality check is good! • The jury makes sure that ALL of the finalist’s stories are equally read.

Who can take part? • Anyone can enter into The Jury selection, even writers… but if you are a finalist, you will be removed (but hey… that’s not so bad!) • If you have been accepted you will be informed on October the 12th!
