It’s time for the annual #HLCostumeContest 🎃🧡! This year we’ll be awarding $100 cash for the 1st place winner and a $150 gift code to the runner up for use on HalloweenCostumes.com (this year’s sponsor). And here’s a bonus 15% discount.
How to Enter
DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS NOON ON NOVEMBER 2ND
You must complete all 3 steps to enter:
1. Retweet the contest:
2. Comment below to share what you dressed up as this year:
3. Submit a photo of yourself in costume here:
(add black@halloweenlove.com to your contacts or whitelist)
Details Needed:
- Use the exact subject: Costume Contest 2019.
- Describe what you are, what your costume is supposed to be.
- For the photo…
- Attach only one that is focused on just you (no couple or group or pet submissions — sorry).
- It should be well-lit, sharp, in focus, in color, and with no red-eye.
- Other than red-eye correction or cropping, do not Photoshop in effects or enhancements or multiple shots of the costume into one photo. No filters. It should be the raw photo of the costume as it looks in real life.
- Preferably in high resolution and portrait-angled (holding your camera sideways).
- Again, it must be you and the photo must be current, 2019.
- Do not submit on someone else’s behalf (unless they require your assistance).
- One costume entry per person.
- DO NOT FORGET — You still need to complete steps 1 and 2 above to complete your entry.
You of course retain full copyright ownership of your photo, but by submitting it to this contest, you grant us full permission to use it here on halloweenlove.com and to edit and name the photo as needed to be appropriately and fairly presented in this contest.
Winner Selection
You may of course enter anytime during the whole month of October, but the winners will be chosen on the evening of November 2nd, giving everyone ample time to enter after Halloween night partying and recovery. 🍺
There is no criteria or categories for costume judging. Whether you spent $0 or $1,000 creating your costume has no bearing. All costume entries are welcome and have a fair chance: scary, funny, sexy, creative, original, whatever. We will simply have a team vote and narrow it down to the costume we like most.
Have fun and good luck everyone! 🧛🧟👻

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to email you because Disqus no longer shares your email address with admins.
However, please keep in mind that we’re not accepting couple costumes this year anyway. You could of course both enter separately. Please check the instruction above again on how to enter. Thanks!
The costume I’m entering is an illusion costume of an outer space princess shooting off into the sky on a shooting star. It was completely handmade and took several months to make.

I dressed up as Aladdin with my magic carpet. Check out the YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2XFvSMK7-g
I’m the angel of innocence.
My boyfriend and I took a cue from the Saturday morning cartoons of our childhood and dressed up as Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote!
I saved a small bird a couple of weeks ago and that inspired me to become the Bird Lady! My wings and leg warmers are made from a pair of pants, my hair contains gold twigs, spray painted birds, floral picks, feathers, and gold hair spray. I painted my face and added gems for a 3 dimensional look. I added leather strips and feathers to the leg warmers for movement. I have gold pixy like ears and a feathered collar. My cape was sewed in layers to create volume! Overall, this is one of my favorite home made costumes! Thanks for considering me!
I dressed up as a sugar skull, solid rhinestones from head to toe!
