A Special Crook & Folly Call For Submissions:

Spooky Submissions Contest
Hosted by Crook & Folly


Link to Submit: HERE
Rules and Guidelines:
What qualifies as a Spooky Submission?
You tell us! What do you fear? What do others fear? What keeps you up
at night? What makes you question if you’re still dreaming? Regale us with
your encounters in the paranormal, your close calls with the occult, your
most cursed tales! We want your best (and worst) stories and visual art to get
us in the mood for Halloween!


When do submissions open?

Submissions officially start October 1st and end the 29th! Why the
29th? On Halloween we will feature the winners of the Art submissions and
Literature submissions on our Instagram. A double feature! Want to submit?
Click the link at the top of this document, or the link in our Linktree on
Instagram to submit!


Each author/artist gets up to three submissions in either category total
For Literature, please submit Word Documents and Google
Documents only! We will not take PDF submissions. We need to be able to
edit and/or format the chosen piece for social media.
For Art, we will take PDF, JPG, or PNG submissions. Any other
document types will not be accepted for republishing.


What is the prize?
Our winning submission will not only receive a special feature on our
social media, but will also receive exclusive copies of Crook & Folly. In
addition, the winning pieces will automatically be considered for the 44th
edition of Crook & Folly, launching in May of 2024!
