Any patients wearing a costume on Halloween will automatically be entered into the competition.

Applicants must be SPHC members and only one photograph per pet is permitted.

Voting will begin on Nov. 2 on SPHC’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. Social media voting will make up 60 percent of the final score and a judging panel will determine the remaining 40 percent.

Entries will be judged on their originality and their creativity as well as how photogenic the animal is.
