Can the piece include an associated image or is this purely text based?

You need to include an image. It does not need to be elaborate. Many entries I've seen are quite simple as the members want to focus on the writing. You can look at old contest to see what others have done, but you can do your own thing too. Here are links to the last few Halloween ones

Thank you for the reply,

I just wanted to check as many writing competitions do not allow an image to be used to offset the written piece.

It's been a long time since I entered a contest here. Should be fun to see if things have improved.

Also... what happened to the thousand word count, limit? I was kind of relishing the memories of fevered cuts, trying to make the final draft fit. I may self impose, else I won't be done in time.
