CATEGORIES
BEST OF THE BEST
The crème de la crème of all of the entries. Strong concept, skillful execution, and undeniable impact. This is the one that rises above the rest.
NIGHTMARE FUEL
The creepiest of all the entries that gets under our skin, makes us squirm; the one that keeps us up at night.
YOU WENT WITH ADORABLE?!
The rebel move for Halloween: something sweet, charming, cute, or even downright precious. For those that want to make us say “awwww” instead of “AAHHHH!!”
GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE
A new category just for AI-generated images! Glitchy, uncanny, or just plain bizarre algorithm-born entries go here. These entries won’t compete for Best of the Best, but we’ll celebrate the most haunting visions our digital ghosts can conjure.
