Costume Creation & Contest Details & Rules
Costume Creation
Contest Categories
You must have a costume and/or mask you designed and created to participate in the CONTEST. You may purchase parts of your costume but cannot have purchased an entire costume or all components of a costume to participate, and thrifting and upcycling of recycled and found materials is strongly encouraged.
Bonus points if you made your costume with found materials. It's our guests who choose, but it's our guess the more original you are in each category, and the less formulaic or iconic you are, and the zanier and more creative you get, the greater your chances. Good luck 2024 Costume Contestants!

A FOLK HALLOWEEN EXPERIENCE
have a blast imagining and creating their costumes.
You can purchase parts of your costume and still enter the contest.
You just have to imagine and create.
Entirely purchased costumes are allowed (as are plain clothes), of course, but are ineligible for the contest, but the hag could give you a real lashing!
The costumes designed by entrants to the contest in 2022 were superb.
The costumes designed by entrants to the contest in 2023 were also.
