Enter to Win Patch's Best Halloween Costume in America Contest

We're searching for the best Halloween Costume in America. Enter yourself or your kids for a chance to win $5,000.

It doesn’t matter if you’re Lady Gaga or Lady Liberty for Halloween—if you have an awesome costume, showcase your creation in our Best Halloween Costume in America Contest.

Last year, the , won. This year, it could be you. Enter our contest for a chance to win the $5,000 grand prize!

Who has the coolest costume in Pinellas County? We posted this story across all 10 of our Patch sites in Pinellas County so we could see how creative the people of our county are. This part is just for fun, but all of the uploads still get entered into the national contest.

Adults and children are eligible to enter. Parents can post costume photos of themselves and their families from this Halloween or from years past.

Here’s how to enter:

  • Simply click the green "Upload Your Photos and Videos" button above and upload your image (but first make sure you’re a registered Patch user).

  • Then add a caption with the name of the person in the photo and a description of the costume. To add a caption, click “Edit Photo” after uploading the image and fill in the caption line. Then click “Finished Editing.”

The contest runs from Oct. 15 to Nov. 5. National judges will choose 21 finalists from each Patch state and select one grand prize winner based on who has the most creative and innovative costume (we've combined North Carolina & South Carolina for this contest, as well as Washington D.C. and Virginia). Each state finalist will receive $250 and one grand prize winner will receive $5,000.

If your costume is the best in Florida and will put all others to shame, enter our contest now for the chance to win $5,000.

I love Kahwa coffee and the nice folks that own and run it. They have been great citizens of St.Read More Pete. If you have not tried it, you should do so.

Cap'n Crunch: ''A-hoyyyy Sea Dog!'' Sea Dog: ''Arf. Arf arf arf. Arf arf. Arf.'' Cap'n Crunch:Read More ''What did he say, Cabin Boy?'' Cabin Boy: "Why Cap'n, Sea Dog said Cap'n Crunch stays crunchy...even in an ocean of milk !!'' (I am showing my age now..that used to be my cereal when it first came out. It took a lot to replace my Sugar Frosted Flakes with Tony The Tiger...lol)
