Best Homemade Costume - This one’s pretty self explanatory.
Best Store Bought Costume - Psst, Amazon counts as store-bought too. ;)
Best “Couples” Costume - We want to see dogs & their humans in matching costumes!
Best Anti-Costume - This one’s for the dogs who hate wearing costumes - show us your festive bandanas, collars, leashes, or other creative non-traditional costume ideas!
Best Play Dead - Who can perform the most impressive version of this classic trick?
Spookiest Trick - Get creative for this one! Props are encouraged but not required.
Musical Sits - Like musical chairs, but when the music stops the last dog to sit is out!
Please note, dogs must be up to date on vaccinations including rabies, distemper, leptospirosis, parvovirus, and bordetella, with a clean fecal sample in the past year in order to attend this event.
