Creative Comping for Halloween

Hello again compers!  How is your week going, any nice wins to report?  A few little bits here including a Stand up to Cancer t-shirt in a twitter comp and a surprise Witch Blemish Stick turning up in the post – all handy bits!  What is the weather like where you are now?  We are having another warm spell here, it doesn’t really feel like autumn much at all.  Have even held off buying the eldest’s winter coat, as it doesn’t feel like she will get much use out of it yet – my girls are still just in raincoats over their uniform!  Hope the weather starts to cool down and turn a bit more autumnal soon – especially with so many Christmas competitions already out and about!

Before we can properly think about Christmas though we have Halloween and Bonfire Night to enjoy.  Halloween is one of those times of the year where you often get a glut of creative competitions cropping up.  Companies often ask you to send in your pumpkin carving photos, pictures of you and your little ones dressed up in fancy dress, or ask for recipes for Halloween related food.  With this in mind, here are a few great ones I have come across for you to get your fake plastic vampire teeth into:

  • Will you and or your little ones be dressing up this Halloween?  Send Asda your best fancy dress snaps via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or via the website and you could bag yourself a £200 Asda voucher!  Get snapping quick as the entry for this closes at noon on 24th October 2014
  • Do you go the whole hog with your dressing up for Halloween and create a spooky make up look too?  Send your photos of your best Halloween make up to The Powder Room on Twitter by 24th October 2014, and you could be winning £100 of MAC make up products for your efforts.
  • While you are getting dressed up all spooky, snap a picture of you or someone else in their best Halloween costume and submit it to Menkind via their website, Facebook or Twitter and you could win a selection of novelty Halloween items – including a Zombie Gnome, a Batguy Opposuit and a Zombie mask!  Entries close at noon on 29th October 2014 so enter soon.
  • Do you and the family carve pumpkins for Halloween?  Make sure you take plenty of photos of your finished design as there are always lots of comps.  Accessortize are giving away a Halloween bag of treats worth £215, including bags, shoes and accessories to one lucky winner who submits their pumpkin photo via Instagram or Twitter using @Accessorize by midnight on 29th October 2014, so get carving!
  • Once you have carved your pumpkin, why not make the pumpkin flesh into something yummy to eat.  Submit your photos of your best pumpkin dishes to Lee Kum Kee Europe on Twitter, and the best will win a £50 Tesco voucher.  The comp ends on 30th October 2014, so get carving, scooping and snapping.
  • Another great pumpkin or squash carving comp is being run by Grown with Love on Twitter.  Their favourite pumpkin photo received by noon on 31st October 2014 will receive a family ticket for Warner Brothers Studio Tour in London.
  • Do you like to rustle up creative Halloween food for your party?  If you have a flair for food design, you could win a hamper of tasty treats courtesy of Tesco Real Food.  Enter your Halloween creations - the most inventive and attractive that you can manage - by 23:59 on 3rd November 2014 for a chance to win,

Happy Halloween comping everyone, and lots of Lucky Dust to you all!
