Halloween Costume Contest—What You Need to Know
There will be four different divisions of the Spooktacular Costume Contest at the Third Annual Halloween Block Party on October 26, on 21st Street between Main and O streets. No need to pre-register to be judged, just show up on time.
- • Infants and Tot division
◦ 0 – 5 years old
- • Kids Division
◦ 6 years old – 12 years old
- • Teens and Adults division
- • Pets Division
- • Overall Grand Prize Winner for the best costume at the party
Rules: Put together a creative, spooky, funny or imaginative costume and wear it on your body. All costumes are welcomed; it doesn’t make any difference if they are homemade, purchased or rented. However, keep your costume “G” rated this is a family event.
- • You must be a legal resident of the U.S. – it makes it easier to cash the check
- • You must be between 0 – 100 years old and not be dead
◦ If you appear dead but can walk that is OK
- • You cannot be an owner or employee of any of the sponsoring businesses
- • Pets need to bring with them
◦ A person
◦ A Popper Scooper or Litter Box
I would say that’s enough rules right?
Costumes will be judged per division starting at 7 p.m., but the party starts at 6 p.m. Come at 6:00 pm to have some fun first, don’t be a party-pooper. The first division will be called up to the judging area; (which is Nichols parking lot;) and asked to LINE-UP. Stand-up straight and tall, or hunched over or even lying in a coffin, whatever it takes to make your costume look the best to the judges who will be walking by all the costumed contestants. You may howl, growl, wink, wiggle or screech at the judges but no touching, poking or bribing the judges – they are very sensitive people.
Each judge will hand out four golden tickets to the best costumes standing in line. If you receive a golden ticket you are a finalist. WA-HOO! (Now you gotta do the math here…four judges, four golden tickets per division per judge, four divisions = how many golden tickets will be passed out?) Then the next division will be called up to the judging area to get their golden tickets. Rinse and repeat until the judges have passed out all of the golden tickets.
When all the golden tickets are passed out, ALL of the golden ticket holders will come up to the judging area to be judged again. THIS IS THE EXCITING PART… the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes and trophies will be passed out. WA-HOO! After the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, place prizes and trophies are handed out in each division, the Grand Prize Winner will be announced. Judges decisions are final.
