Once again we are physically distant, but together virtually. We want to see your best costumes.
Be it a historical re-creations, something fantastical, or even a costume bought mostly off the
rack”. There is no right or wrong. All are welcome.

Your mission is to make our judges go “cool”, “wow’, or “laugh” (with you).
Some of our favourites will be shared on our website and through our social media channels.
