If you have an amazing Halloween costume this year, you’re going to want to show it off in Denver this weekend as you could win some big cash!

Denver’s Stockyards Event Center will host the popular “Coloween” Halloween party, which includes a $10,000 costume contest… $7,500 for the winner!

The party will have a jungle theme at the event this Saturday night (Oct 26).

To participate in the costume contest, you must pre-register before 5 p.m. on Oct. 26 for a chance to be in the top 20 invited to participate during the event. Costumes will be judged on creativity, difficulty, and authenticity.

A panel of judges will select the ‘top 20’ invited participants to compete in round two of the competition, held live at Coloween from 9-11 p.m. on the main stage. The ten finalists will be invited back to the stage at midnight where the audience will vote for the finalists. The three finalists who receive the loudest responses from the crowd will move on to the final round where the winner will be selected.

The winner will receive $7,500, second place will get $1,500, and third place will win $1,000.

Tickets to the event start at $59.40. Get yours here.
