Spring Contest 2026 – Writing Competition

Spring Contest 2026 – The OutaStory Writing Competition

Goodbye winter, hello spring! Welcome to perhaps the most beautiful season of the year — and welcome to our first OutaStory writing contest!

Do you feel it too? After these cold, sometimes gloomy winter nights, it feels like a time of change begins — a journey from darkness into light. And strange things can happen along the way. Our moods shift, we become more sensitive, and we notice things that may have been close all along, yet hidden for a long time. These can be longings, passions, obsessions — stories about people at the edge.

Genre : Fantasy / Romantic Fantasy / Science Fiction
Theme : New beginnings
Length : Free (no restrictions)
Deadline : March 29, 2026, 23:59 (CET)

The Theme: New beginnings
