Halloween Writing Contest  

Halloween, the scariest festivity of the world, is celebrated the 31^st of October. People tend to think Halloween is an Americanized festival of ghosts and ghouls – but….Are you aware of the true origin of this festivity?  Most of the activities carried out this time of year are originally from Celtic folklore and tradition?

Nowadays, people from all over the world usually mark Halloween with what have become traditional activities – carved pumpkins, trick-or-treating, Halloween costume parties, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories….

We also wanted to do something special for Halloween, therefore we organized a writing contest!
