Critter Costume

Creatures of the night, unite! We're continuing our month of Spooky Season festivities with a Challenge theme that is near and dear to us at Vocal: pets.

We're shamelessly obsessed with animals, and we know that many of you are as well. That's why we’ve partnered with Ollie, a leader in pet nutrition, for this Challenge. Ollie's mission is all about creating a personalized and delicious mealtime experience for your pet, so we want this Challenge to reflect your fur friend's unique personality!

Enter the Critter Costume Challenge by showing off your furry (or scaly, or feathered) companion's Halloween best! Grab your camera, or dig through your photo archives, because we want you to share photos of your cutest, cleverest, creepiest pet costume. Did your long-haired dachshund hit the town last year as Underdog? Are you and your cats planning to cosplay together as Catwoman on the 31st? Show us the photo or video evidence, and tell us the story behind the 'fit for a chance to win treats 💸, not tricks.

*This Challenge was originally scheduled to end Oct 12. This deadline has been extended to Oct 31.

Your story should be between 600 and 3,000 words and adhere to our Community Guidelines. Stories published on Vocal and entered into the contest up until October 31, 2021, at 11:59 PM EST will be entered for consideration. Official Rules for the Challenge can be found here.
