Back in 2020, we are unable to host the annual HOA Halloween party, but that didn't stop us from having a little bit of fun! We had so much fun that, even though the party is back, we're still holding the virtual costume contest.
The House Officers Association is excited to announce the 7th annual virtual costume contest! There will be cash prizes.
Here are the deets:
Grand Prize: $100
First Runner-up: $50
Open to all members of the HOA
Grand Prize: $100
Open to HOA members and their families. Define "family" however you want. Kid and pet cuteness are likely to be your best strategies.
Grand Prize: $200 to be split evenly among the HOA members in the group.
Open to groups of at least two HOA members and their friends.
The prize format will be VISA gift cards.
The maximum prize to any single House Officer is $100.
If someone wins in multiple categories, such that they would be awarded more than $100, the excess prize will be evenly distributed amongst the other HOA members in the winning Group, then winning Family, not to exceed $100 for each HOA member. If there is still an excess prize, it will be evenly distributed amongst HOA members in the second place Group.
HOA staff have the final say on determining winners, distributing prize money, and interpreting the rules.
HOA staff may disqualify or remove a contest submission for any reason.
By submitting your photos for entry, you agree to allow the HOA to publish them on this website and our social media accounts for the purposes of conducting the contest.
