"Halloween is fun for both the young and young at heart," the press release from Archie Comics says. "We would really like to see how creative our fans are so; we’ve decided to hold a Halloween Costume Contest."
Kids of all ages, all you need to do to join in the fun:
- Get your costume together (for you and/or your pet)
- Take a picture. Yes, you can enter more than once!
- Email it as an attachment to blogphotos@archiecomics.com
- Be sure to put the words “Costume Contest” in the subject line!
All photos will be put up on ArchieComics.com on Halloween Day. The voting will begin on Thursday, November 1. There will be no first round eliminations -- all entries will be placed on the Archie Comics website for voting, as long as they are suitable for the entire family.
The winner will receive a very cool prize: an original drawing of him- or herself with Archie Comics characters, drawn in costume based on the photo submitted. This one-of-a-kind collectible will be drawn by artists here at Archie Comics. (OK, guess now BRB really HAS to get that Cheryl Blossom costume together!)
We’ve never offered a prize like this before, so get your friends and neighbors together and tell them to vote for YOU! Voting will end at midnight, Saturday, November 17.
