Hi Asfand!
Two things: In your title you have 15 or below instead of 14. In order for the contest to appear in 'Contest for Kids' in the 'Contests' drop down menu, it must be in the 'Children' category and it must be 'Children' and not 'Children's'.
I'm very glad that you're hosting a kids contest. We need a bunch more
.
Here's a link to suggestions for children and trophyless contests:

here is what this contest and my want to enter it didto me lol
my best stories are werewolves ok so now i'm down to 44 out of 56 short stories stories i have finished; after that rule.
then no more than 2000 words ok now i got about 49 stories i can enter.
next rule no silly titles/corny stories i got 32 stories i can enter
no chapters ok i got 19 stories i can enter
nothing you commented on before ok I got 7 storied i can enter.
of those seven stories i got 3 demon stories two ghost stories and two kid wakes up in hospital alone stories. -
-
Hey William! How are ya'?
Ooh...sorry about that!
It's just that so many great writers put in stories with werewolves, chapters, vampires, gore and if I'm not in the mood, it hurts their position in the contest though it's REALLY well-written. I think it's better if I narrow things down to admit things I'll like in the first place!
Anyway, horror is welcome so bring on whatever you have left!
