Who can create the best fish-o’-lantern?
This Halloween weekend, the National Aquarium is giving its followers a chance to win a family four-pack of general admission tickets to the Aquarium by participating in a special Halloween challenge!
Starting today, submit your aquatic-themed jack-o’-lantern through Twitter or Facebook. This can be a photo of an actual pumpkin you carved, or your own creative drawing of a marine-themed jack-o’-lantern! Our favorite entry will win the four-pack of tickets.
To get you started, you can download this fun stencil that could be the inspiration for your jack-o’-lantern.
Here are the instructions:
1) Create an aquatic-themed jack-o’-lantern in any manner that you choose (be as creative as you wish, but our judges are hoping for real carved pumpkins!)
2) Take a picture or scan your jack-o’-lantern drawing and post it online.
3) Tweet us the link @NatlAquarium and include the tag #FishFriday OR upload the photo to our Facebook wall.
Contest closes at midnight on October 31. A winner will be announced on Monday, November 1.
So what are you waiting for? Dive in and start carving, and best fishes for a fin-tastic Halloween!
We don’t usually carve our pumpkins. We paint them because that way they last longer and don’t rot. Is that acceptable for your contest?
