It's Halloween next week - and as well as launching our own exclusive Trick or Treat competition on the blog, we've also been busy adding lots of spooky themed comps to the website! Here's our round up of the best prizes and most fun creative challenges on offer:
Fancy dress
Gruesome or funny fancy dress always seems to be popular - try taking your photos outdoors to make them more creepy - graveyards are ideal!

Pumpkins
Pumpkin carving is a tricky skill to master - there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube, and try and think of something really unusual to make your pumpkin stand out amongst all the other entries. As well as taking photos of the pumpkin, make sure you get some photos with you in too - some promoters will ask for this to ensure people don't cheat by googling for an entry! Again, take the photos in the dark with the pumpkin lit spookily!
