Historical Fiction

Hi everyone, now that the new historical fiction writing competition is open until May, I'm curious to see what you consider to be "historical"

I've been working on something for a while now, but I'm not sure how far back is considered to be historical. 1950's? 30's? 20's? 1800's?

What is your take on it?

I think the Historical Novel Society's view is it must take place at least 50 years ago.

So the swinging (early) sixties is fine :)
