Penelope Illustration

THE FIRST EVER ONLINE COSTUME CONTEST

Halloween. The one holiday that is there just for fun. It's the perfect
time to be creative...planning the spooktacular party, drenching your
digs in spiderwebs, thinking up the scariest/funniest/cutest costume.
So, I got to thinking: Why not have a on-line costume contest?
The very first one ever. So here's your big chance to flex your
creative muscle.

Just illustrate or photograph your costume, real or imaginary,
and send it in. I'll post all the submissions and get them judged
by our panel of Halloween experts. After that it's just a matter of
squealing with delight over all the great entries and awarding a
trick-or-treat bag of candy, along with a swank Penelope Illustration
mug. I can't wait to see what you send in!

p.s. The more the merrier, so tell all your friends.
