Brome Bright Lights Short Story contest has been in existence since 2007. It was another record year with 181 stories. There were some truly amazing tales, making the job of judging very hard indeed. The judges saw a very clear trend of spooky stories as well as some very inspirational works. Three top stories featured the topic of eggs or chickens. And the age-old question has been answered. The egg came first written by Shawn Cere, The Egg took home the grand prize of $200. First prize winners from each grade received $50 and second prize winners received $25. This year, for the first time, the contest was sponsored by Brome Lake Books. Congratulations to all.
