What the Judges Are Looking For

Our panel of judges will be looking for costumes that embody creativity, originality, and, of course, that extra dose of cuteness! Whether it’s a DIY costume that shows off your artistic side or a store-bought outfit that makes your pup the star of the show, the key to winning is standing out. Keep in mind that the judges will also be considering how well the costume fits your dog’s personality and how it celebrates the Halloween spirit.


We encourage participants to have fun with their submissions. Share a story behind the costume or a fun anecdote about your pet to bring even more charm to your entry. After all, Halloween is a time for fun, laughter, and a little bit of spooky magic!
