Photo Contest: Put Your Pet in a Costume

With Halloween around the corner, some people are wondering about what they'll wear to parties.

Other people are wondering what costume to get for their pet. Those are the people we want to hear from.

We want to see those pets in costume, so post your pictures, and win $50 and a Patch prize pack. You have until Oct. 28 to upload the best photos you have.

In the caption, let us know the name of your pet and all the details about the costume. We’d also love to know where you’re from and any other information you think we should know.

Patch editors will choose our 10 favorites pictures, and then you, the reader, can vote for the winner in the comments section of an article that will be posted on Oct. 29. The winner will receive a $50 gift card and a Patch prize pack.
