Bill Jones, Managing Editor
Boo!
Sorry. Couldn’t help ourselves.
Just like Monsters
Inc., “We scare because we
care.”
We care so much, in fact,
that we at 22nd Century
Media Southwest Chicago
are giving you five (5!)
ways to win prizes this Halloween
season. So, whether
you are crafting the best
holiday costume or carving
the most intricate of gourds,
you have a shot at some
wicked swag.
Details for each are below,
but questions can be
directed to Managing Editor
Bill Jones at bill@opprairie.com
or (708) 326-
9170 ext. 20.
The costumes
First, our Halloween
Costume Contest for 2017
features a total of three categories.
Adults 16 and older
have two ways to win, with
awards for scariest costume
and most creative up
for grabs. Children 15 and
younger, meanwhile, will
compete in one category in
which creativity is key.
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.
1) You have to be the
person in the costume. You
cannot submit for anyone
else, with the exception of

The Pumpkins
Our pumpkin carving
contest returns in 2017 with
a category for adults 16 and
older, as well as one for
children 15 and younger.
In both categories, it is all

(can feature multiple pumpkins
if there is a theme) for
an entry, though families
can send one entry per person
from different members
of the family (and they can
be submitted together).
3) We understand there
may be a bit in the way of
scary imagery (such is the
nature of the holiday), but
the pumpkins have to be relatively
family friendly to be
considered and published.
(You would be surprised by
some of the sick things we
have seen done with pumpkins.)
