Your Photos Could Make Your Kid a Halloween Star

Patch's Little Pumpkin Costume Challenge with Heidi Klum needs your entries now!

Which kid in America has the most creative Halloween costume in the pumpkin patch (... er, 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 in our nationwide contest.

The Grand Prize? Patch will whisk the winner to New York or Los Angeles for a three-day, two-night trip for two that includes a meet and greet with Heidi, plus a donation of $1031 (get it? 10/31?) to a local charity of the winner's choice. Nine runners up will also get a $1031 donation from Patch to a local charity of their choice.
