So what's the costume of the year? It might just be about Ebola

By Jack Olantern Peninsula Daily News correspondent

THE THREE NEWSPAPERS of the North Olympic Peninsula — Peninsula Daily News, Sequim Gazette and Forks Forum — are holding an online contest to find the best Halloween costumes on the Peninsula.

We’re looking for photos of the scariest, silliest, cutest or most creative costume in two categories — Kids and Adults.

There will be first-, second- and third-place winners in each of the two categories — with prizes ourtesy of the contest’s sponsors. Plus the first-place winners will be published in the three newspapers.

Contest sponsors are Elwha River Casino ($25 slot card), First Federal ($25 in Port Angeles Downtown Dollars), Bedford’s Soda (an entire case of its root beer) and $25 gift certificates from William Shore Memorial Pool, Fiesta Jalisco Mexican Restaurant and Domino’s Pizza.

How to enter

Entering is easy: Go to http://assets.peninsuladailynews.com/images/upickem/halloween2014/halloween2014.php?landing

Pick the contest category you’d like to enter — Adults or Kids, or enter both categories.
