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? 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, two-night trip for two that includes a meet-and-greet with Heidi, plus a donation of $1,031 to a local charity of the winner's choice. (The donation amount is based on Halloween's 10/31 date. Creative, huh?) 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 kid, age 12 or younger, in his or her Halloween costume. Entries must be made by the parent or legal guardian of the child photographed. Photos should include your child's name, your name and your local charity of choice. That information can be added after you upload your photo. Simply click "Edit Photo," and fill out the caption field. .
