Teen Ghost Story Contest (Ages 13-17)

Teens: Submit your most chilling story to the link below or drop off your story in person at the library front desk to enter our Ghost Story Contest! Submissions will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Friday, October 2. On Tuesday at 6 p.m., we will turn out the lights in the upstairs meeting room and read the stories. Members of the audience will then vote for their favorite story and the winner will receive the Teen Ghost Story Contest 2026 trophy and a copy of Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales. Please only submit content that is, at most, “PG-13.” Stories with sexual content, profanity, drug/alcohol use, or graphic violence will not be accepted. Library staff reserve the right to disqualify entries that do not follow contest guidelines. Limit one per patron. https://form.jotform.com/262574001617048
