How the Runway Works
You Have 60 Seconds. Make Them Count.
Each registered contestant gets a 60-second runway walk to showcase their costume and presentation.
Choose the song you want playing during your walk, bring your character to life, and give the crowd something to remember. Your registration will ask for your requested runway song along with a description of your costume or character concept.
Only 100 Contestant Spots Available
Registration is limited to the first 100 contestants.
Once all 100 spots have been claimed, registration will officially close. If you’ve been planning a costume for Halloween 2026, don’t wait until event day to decide you want to compete.
