Welcome to this year's Halloween contest! Remember, you don't have to celebrate the Holidays to participate! This year, I'm going with a customs and candy theme.
You can post as many photos as you'd like, as long as you have a TV in the photos. You have two options.
1. Show us one of your countries' Halloween (or equivalent holiday) customs. You could show us Halloween (mostly US), Samhain (Celtic), Day of the Dead (Mexican), Obon (Japanese - not usually in October, but it's a similar holiday) etc. How do you celebrate this holiday?
2. Your toy introducing us to candy from your country.
Just like last year, photos must be submitted to this forum thread. The last day of submissions is November 4th.
This year, you get to pick between 3 prizes:
1. Make your toy a halloween accessory to wear.
2. Send you American Candy of your choice.
3. Send you a Halloween Souvenir!

My TV is a ghost dog, he doesn't need a disguise!!!!
Hahaha, just joking!!! 
I think it's a funny idea, I will try to participate!!!
The prizes you comment are so nice 
I've got a question: it has to be an individual disguise or can be a groupal disguise?

Sam is definately going to enter this comp!
Can you enter more than once? Sam celebrates as Samhain with me... then in the evening we get dressed up and go trick or treating in the American/English way?
Also, on the thoughts of prizes... Sam is the biggest girl on the planet and loves clothes... I think he'd love something halloween-themed to wear!
Planning my photo already!

I've read it again and I've got a question because I don't know if I understood it :S
We can submit the photos only on October, can't we?

Sorry for the long delay. It's September, so I want to start getting everyone's questions answered.
SiniS: You can have individual or group costumes. It's up to you! It's about you showing me how your holiday is traditionally celebrated, or showing off your candy if you don't celebrate this holiday. Also, you are correct. October is the only time that I'll be accepting submissions.
Bolebog: I'd love to see the spook house! I think it's a great idea :-)
Sam-The-Shepp: You can enter as many photos as you want with as many TV's as you want. See the end of my post for more ont he prizes.
I've been thinking about the prizes. This year, you get to pick between 3 prizes.
1. Make your toy a halloween accessory to wear.
2. Send you American Candy of your choice.
3. Send you a Halloween Souvenir!

Thanks klubwerks!
Another question (sorry for bothering :$): To participate we have to submit the photos here, but can be the same of the upload photos in the TV's travelog? In a different way, I mean if the photos can be in the TV's travelog too or only photos can be posted here to participate in this contest exclusively?
I hope you understand me...

I have extended the deadline to November 4th, since Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) is celebrated in November. If this isn't far enough out for Día de los Muertos, please let me know!
SiniS: Yes you can have the photos in your travel logs and they can be old photos too. It's no problem answering questions ;-)

Another question U_U' ...
If Halloween is on 31th October, we can't send photos before that day  , can we?
Well, there are places where people starts to decorate before, that's true, but is at the end of the month!! Am I wrong?

I cannot show you the traditional finnish Halloween (here called Kekri or Köyri) customs, because this is a family safe area. 
Have to think about the candies.

I am very curious as to what your traditional Finnish Holiday is, Eohippus! You are welcome to tell me in PM.
To everyone else, I'm enjoying the photos so far! Great job!

Alright! Here we are four TV's and there Halloween Costumes.
First there is little T.B., he is a pumpkin and a Santa Clause.
Then we have Klöver. She wanted to be a spring roll. But I gues there was some kind of a misunderstanding.
Thirdly there is Karlos. He is a classical ghost and a Scottish guy.
Last but not least: Lancel she is an easter egg and a cloud. Cloud number 9 (or as we say in Germany: Wolke 7)
Hope you like what I made.

PS Somehow the photos show up in a different order when I post them. But hopefully the explanation helps to find out who is who.

If you want to be hosted - just let me know.
Sadly my dear Wauzi moved to his dad...so now I have sweet little Jonathan to stay with me all the time. He is a stay-at-home Voyager.
If you want me to host your toy, please read this:
