Got a Cute Halloween Costume? Enter to Win a Chance to Meet Heidi Klum!

Getting your Halloween costumes all ready to go? Don't forget to enter your kid in Patch's Little Pumpkin Costume Challenge, which kicks off Friday, Oct. 21.

The little person wearing the most creative costume nationwide will be chosen for a grand prize of going to NYC or Los Angeles on a Patch paid three-day, two-night trip that includes a meet and greet with Heidi Klum.  Plus, Patch will donate $1031 on their behalf to a local charity of their choice. Nine runners up will also win the ability for Patch to donate $1031 on their behalf to a local charity of their choice.

Here are some details and rules:

The child being judged in the photo must be 12 years of age or younger, and the person uploading the photo must be 18 years of age or older and the parent or legal guardian of the child photographed. Photos should be uploaded here by clicking "manage your photos," above.  Be sure to include your child’s name, entrant’s name, and local charity of choice. That info can be added after the photo is uploaded, by clicking "edit photo," and filling in the caption field. .

Submissions must be received before 9 p.m. PST on Oct. 31, Halloween night. Culver City Local Editor Winter Johnson will pick one winner that will be submitted to compete against up to 870 other local Patch winners—Heidi will ultimately pick one grand prize winner. Winner will be contacted by email. 

Good luck and be sure to support Heidi Klum’s efforts to feed the hungry. Visit Trick or Treat for UNICEF!
