The SCARECROWS and SKELETONS of FIRCREST Display Contest
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN for the 2024 SCARECROWS and SKELETONS of FIRCREST Display Contest! It's time to build the scarecrows and decorate for the fall.
Judging will be based on the creative presentation of your scarecrow or skeleton. Your display can be whimsical, happy AND/OR scary! It can include a single creative scarecrow, skeleton OR create a huge display with both! It's up to you!
BUT.... don't throw up all your Halloween decor and call it good. Our judges will be looking for the creative and unique scarecrows and / or skeletons in Fircrest. (inspiration below!) And the challenge is on! *
The rules are simple
- You have your choice of creating a creative scarecrow, skeleton OR both.
- Be creative. (please see examples below)
- Think outside the box.
- You can create one scarecrow / skeleton or a big display of both ... it's up to you!
- Have FUN.
- Keep it clean (PG rated for our young community members).
- Your display must be visible from the street.
- AND finally .... the display must be made by you (not purchased, rented or borrowed). Of course the basic skeleton can be purchased! ;)
Entry Fee: FREE! There is NO cost to enter the contest.
Space is limited. Register now before all the spots are filled.
To participate, submit this registration form and have your display ready by the required time deadline.
