Halloween Costume Contest Kit with Ballots and Certificates

The kit uses seven award categories: Scariest, Funniest, Most Creative, Best Group, Best DIY, Best Pet Costume and Judges’ Pick. A blank award lets you add your own. Each category has its own certificate and its own box on the tally sheet.

Say there is a contest, name the categories and say when the parade happens. Keep it to a line or two. The Halloween Party Invitation has a note box for that line.

Ask guests to come in costume, in plain words. Short lines such as “Costumes encouraged” or “Come dressed up” work well. Add a line about the contest in the note box of the Halloween Party Invitation.

A certificate makes a good prize because every winner can keep it. This kit has 8 full-page certificates with a type-in name and costume. Add a small treat if you like.

Set up a ballot box, hold a costume parade and let everyone vote. Each guest gets one ballot and cannot vote for themselves. Count the votes on the tally sheet, then hand out the certificates. At a kids’ party, make sure every child gets one.

Yes, the certificates have type-in fields for the name and the costume. Open the PDF in a free PDF reader, type, then print. Type the party and date once and they fill every certificate.
