Your Costume Photos Could Make Your Kid a Halloween Star

Add your snapshots to Patch's Little Pumpkin Costume Challenge with Heidi Klum for a chance to donate to charity.

Which kid in America has the most creative Halloween costume in the pumpkin patch? That's what we intend to find out with your photos and the help of celebrity judge Heidi Klum, who will select the Grand Prize winner.

The Grand Prize? Patch will whisk the winner to New York or Los Angeles for a three day, 2 night trip for two that includes a meet and greet with Heidi, plus a donation of $1,031 (get it? 10-31 for Halloween!) to a local charity of the winner's choice. Nine runners-up will also get a $1,031 donation from Patch to a local charity of their choice.

Entering is easy. Just upload a photo of your child, 12 years of age or younger, in his or her Halloween costume to the photo gallery by clicking on "add your photos." Entries must be made by the parent or legal guardian of the child photographed. Please include the with child’s name, the submitter's name and local charity of choice. .

Submissions must be received before 9 p.m. local time on Halloween, Oct. 31.

Good luck and be sure to support Heidi Klum’s efforts to feed the hungry. Visit Trick or Treat for UNICEF! Find more of Heidi’s Halloween favorites at heidiklum.aol.com.
