Decorations are stand-alone embellishments that are not props or part of a costume. In the Halloween Decor Contest, we’re looking for all decorative Halloween projects, whether they’re spooky, sweet, or somewhere in the middle.

Attention, cost-conscious folks: we have a special judges’ prize for the best low-cost project, so keep that in mind when you start brainstorming for your entry.

Our friends at Ting are supplying the prizes for this contest, and this is one contest you want to win! You could walk away with an Oculus Rift, a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, a Samsung Galaxy S4, Bluetooth speakers, and more. Oh, and of course… all winners will receive the limited edition Halloween Instructables T-shirt!

Live in the U.S.? Ting's unique rates make it easy to save on your cell phone bill. Go to instructables.ting.com and get $25 in account credit if you bring over your own phone or $25 off a new phone from the Ting Shop.
