Are you a good witch? A great ghost? A little devil?
Whatever your choice of Halloween costume, we here at The Salem News want to see it, and we want your neighbors to have a look too.
That's why we created The Salem News Halloween Costume Contest.
The rules are pretty simple. Send a picture of yourself in costume to the News. We'll pick the top 10 entries and publish them in the paper. Readers can then go to our Web site, salemnews.com, to vote for their favorites in two categories -- adult and children.
The adult winner will get a gift certificate to a local restaurant; the winner of the children's contest will get a gift certificate to a local candy store.
The best part? All the entries will run on our Web site as part of our Halloween coverage.
Here's how to enter:
Send a picture of yourself or your child in costume to Halloween Costume Contest, c/o Community Editor Will Broaddus, The Salem News, 32 Dunham Road, Beverly, MA 01915. Better yet, e-mail the photo (as an attachment) to webmessage@eagletribune.com.
Please include your name, age, hometown and phone number.
All entries are due by Oct. 23. We'll run the top 10 in each category in the Thursday, Oct. 25 paper. Online voting will be open until Monday, Oct. 28. We'll announce the winners in the Halloween edition of the News.
