The Haapsalu Horror and Fantasy Film Festival (HÕFF) has launched a horror story competition aimed at students from grades 1 to 12 across Estonia. The competition invites participants to submit horror stories of up to 2500 characters, which can be fictional, based on true events, or rooted in folklore. This initiative seeks to highlight the creativity and storytelling abilities of young Estonians, providing them with a platform to express their skills in a genre that resonates with many.
