KSP Encouraging Kids and Pets to Enter Virtual Halloween Costume Contest

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and out of concern for safety, the Kentucky State Police has made the tough decision to cancel it’s annual “Safe Trick or Treat” drive-through event but are encouraging children (and pets) to showcase their Halloween costumes by entering the “KSP Virtual Halloween Costume Contest.”
Officials with KSP say the costume contest is for kids ages 17 and under, as well as pets of all ages. The contest will be made up of three categories that include ‘Most Creative’, ‘Funniest’, and ‘Scariest’ for each age group. Additionally, officials add there will be a ‘Best Pet Costume’ that will be judged by a local veterinarian and a ‘People’s Choice Award’ that will be determined by the entry that receives the most likes on Facebook, regardless of age or category.
Officials state the Kentucky State Police Professional Association (KSPPA) is sponsoring the contest and providing prizes to all category winners. Children five and under have the chance to win a stuffed Trooper Teddy Bear while children ages 6-12 and teens age 13-17 can win a treat and goody basket. The best pet costume will be awarded a pet store gift package and the people’s choice award winner will receive a KSP shirt, hat and treat basket.
To enter, participants must submit a photo of their Halloween costume via email to kspsocialmedia@ky.gov and participants must include the contest category they are entering and their age category. All photos must be submitted by Saturday, October 31st at 4PM Central Time. All submissions for entries to the KSP Virtual Costume Contest must be made by the parent or guardian of the child to allow reproduction of the image on KSP social media.
KSP is also encouraging the public to visit its Facebook page to see and vote on the costume contest entries. All the winners will then be announced on November 4th on the KSP Facebook page.
