Enter Our Geeky Halloween Costume Contest!

GeekSugar — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 07:31:58 -0700

I love that Halloween is just around the corner, why? Because I get to brush up on my DIY skills and see what kind of geeky-fabulous costume I can create! I also want you, the readers, to participate in geeksugar's 2008 costume extravaganza contest for your chances to win a Canon Rebel XSi SLR Digital Camera! Whether you plan on making something new, or have a geeky costume in hiding - like this Mario Flower Plant Costume or the iPhone Costume - I want you to share the geeky-goods.

To enter my contest, you must first log in and take the Canon Rebel SLR Camera quiz. Then head on over to my TeamSugar page and click "Private Message Me," (middle left on the page) then "Add Image" below the message box to upload your geeky Halloween costume pic and then tell me a little bit about your costume (it can't be more than four years old)! I'll round up some of my favorites and post them on the site before Halloween and then announce the grand prize winner of the Canon Rebel SLR on Friday, October 31!
