New Art Contest: Spooked!

It’s trick-or-treat time, and this Cricket is haunted by witches, wizards, dragons, ghosts, alien cows, and weird alternative universes. To get in the mood for the Cricket Country Halloween party, everybuggy wants to see your best drawing of something spooky.

 

Will your art reveal witches cackling around a cauldron or a powerful wizard casting spells in his castle tower? Perhaps you will draw a fire-breathing dragon or other magical  creature from mythology. Maybe you will imagine a creepy haunted house in your neighborhood, or trick-or-treaters being chased by ghosts through a graveyard. Or perhaps your spooky drawing will be more fun than frightening, like a goofy alternative universe or a magical gathering of fairies or your friends in their costumes at a Halloween party.

Whether you are spooked by headless horsemen, dancing skeletons, seven-headed herensuge, or cows in the cafeteria line, everybuggy will be huddling together as they tiptoe through the haunted forest to the Cricket Country mailbox to enjoy being spooked by your best spooky art. Yikes!
