*Visual Impact
First impressions matter! Does your display stop people in their tracks? We're looking for bold visuals, great use of space, and that WOW factor that draws the eye.
*Overall Halloween or Fall Spirit
Does the display capture the fun, spooky, or festive spirit of Halloween? Would it make trick-or-treaters excited to visit?
*Creativity & Originality
We want to see YOUR unique spin on Halloween. Use unexpected materials, mix in handmade elements, or reimagine classic concepts. Stand out from the (zombie) crowd!
