8 | October 13, 2016 | The New Lenox Patriot news newlenoxpatriot.com Publisher 22CM seeks readers’ most creative costumes Early entrants eligible for additional prize opportunities Bill Jones, Managing Editor Halloween is drawing eerily near. One might say it’s even lingering around the corner. Or waiting for its chance to strike. But as you may already know, we here at publisher 22nd Century Media feel the world is already a scaryenough place. What we like about Halloween is the creativity that goes into the annual dress-up day. Whether you modified a store-bought costume in a clever way, crafted something from scratch to make sure everyone knows your opinions on current events (sigh, it is an election year, we suppose) or simply made the best of a limited budget, we want to see it. We are returning our Halloween Costume Contest for 2016 with two categories to enter: ages 17 and older, 16 and younger. We’re going to pick just one winner across each category from all seven of our southwest suburban towns: Orland Park, Tinley Park, Frankfort, Mokena, New Lenox, Homer Glen and Lockport. So your entries need to be good. We have just a few rules, which you can check out in one of the accompanying sidebars. While the competition may be tougher this fall, the prizes are well worth it, as a number of area business have stepped up to sponsor our two categories (the prizes are detailed in the other accompanying sidebar). In addition to the usual prizes, however, three locals Please see prize, 12 The Prizes A breakdown of the prizes available in 22nd Century Media’s 2016 Halloween Costume Contest.

The rules 1) You have to be the person in the costume. You cannot submit for anyone else, with the exception of parents who submit their children. 2) Each person can only submit one costume for an entry (basically, you cannot send yourself in multiple costumes — pick one), though families can send one entry per person (and they can be submitted together) from different members of the family. 3) We understand there may be a bit in the way of scary imagery (such is the nature of the holiday), but the costumes have to be relatively family friendly to be considered and published. Nothing beyond PG-13. 4) Entries must be submitted no later than 10 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2, to bill@opprairie.com or 22nd Century Media, c/o Managing Editor Bill Jones, at 11516 W. 183rd St. Unit SW Office Condo 3, Orland Park, IL, 60467 (physical entries cannot be returned), along with names, email addresses and/or phone numbers, and towns for each of the entrants. 5) The entries will be judged by 22nd Century Media’s editorial staff, with winners being chosen based on creativity, successful execution of an idea, quality of craftsmanship and consideration of the holiday/ season. 6) All entries are subject to being published. 22CM’s Active Aging Expo coming to Tinley Park Convention Center Jon DePaolis Freelance Reporter Who says aging has to be dull?
