PlayPennies Halloween Comp: Win A £100 Amazon Voucher

Oct25

by Emma Kelly in Comps on 25 October, 2010 at 9:00 pm

* Competition now closed - winner here *

Halloween is coming and the pumpkins are getting fat! To celebrate, we're going to give away a nice little £100 Amazon.co.uk gift voucher to one of the lucky PlayPennies parents. But it won't be easy - you've got to get creative! You or your kids must get dressed up in a fancy dress outfit for Halloween, and snap a pic, including this PlayPennies image to show that you're wearing a current outfit.

We'll award the best outfit with the £100 Amazon gift voucher.

Now, this contest is totally subjective, as the PlayPennies writers will be judging it, rather than a randomly selected winner. We'll be awarding points based on creativity, humour, originality, imagination, etc. So you've got the rest of the week to come up with an idea!

The winner will be announced the first week in November 2010.

How to enter: upload your image to a hosting service such as photobucket, flickr or imageshack, then post the link in the comments below.

Some rules:

UK entrants only
1 entry per household
Ends 1st November 2010
Must include the Halloween comp image in your photograph

Good luck!

(just entered but didnt have the logo on it, and the photo straight from my facebook so not sure if everyone can see it anyway, so i uploaded it somewhere else )

My little boy Lucca, he's 4 and i made this costume for him. Its suppose to look like hes being abducted by an alien.

Here is my gorgeous stepson being an adorable day-glo spider

He was mesmerised with his reflection all day! And when we did manage to drag him away to go trick or treating, he got the MOST compliments out of all the kids! *PROUD* moment for me

Really don't think anyone gets the "include Playpennies Comp" in picture. You have to print it out, then hold it in your hands is that right Emma? Else it's all a farce as I could just google someone else's costume.

My children decide to think outside the box - my daughter decided she was a witch dressing as a pumpkin and my son wanted to be a vampire magician! Here's a pic of them doing their best 'scary' pose!!!

Ahhhh I didnt take a pic with the wee one holding the playpennies thingy! And I can't now as he is back with his him. We only get the kids at w'kend so I'll miss the deadline.
If i was computer literate I would try and paste a playpennies logo onto my little spidey man, but unfortunately, its beyond me lol
Good luck to all those who manage to work out how to attach pdf to photos as I dont have a clue.
The pics are all fabulous tho, and I hope everyone enjoyed halloweeen as much as we did

I couldn't get my photo loaded onto ImageShack due to my ineptitude so I've emailed my photo of my 18-month old in his home-made outfit (Mummy's first attempt at sewing!) to the playpennies@gmail.com address.

Thought I would post a pic of just his costume to prove this gorgeous little spider is actually my son and isn't just a googled image! I dont have access to a printer so the best i could do last night was to add it to the photo... x

Maybe you could post a picture of your laptop/print out next to the top of your head lol or from an object in the photo like the Jurassic Park mug (isn't that old?).

there was only about 2 people who followed the rules and took there photos with the play pennies logo in the actual photo (printed or on computer screen) to prove that the photo was current and actually theres. The rest just copied and pasted the logo onto the photo meaning they could of used anyone photo on the internet.
