Here's a wonderful idea: encourage creativity in kids by hosting a Hallowe'en art contest! As some of my readers may remember, I recently became a member of the Eclectic Hallowe'en Artists Group (EHAG), a collection (as the name imples) of very talented and wildly imaginative Hallowe'en artists. In order to incite creativity in the next generation, the EHAG moderators decided to host a Hallowe'en art contest! Children interested in participating (and adults curious to see more fine Hallowe'en art) can learn more here:

Here are the details, as written by Johanna Parker:
What: A Kid's Halloween Art Contest
Who: Children ages 10-14
When: Now thru August 31st, 2010. The winner will be announced by September 7, 2010
Where: Online at the EHAG Facebook Page and EHAG Blog
How: Parents email an image of your little ghoul's Halloween themed artwork to ehaagartists@hotmail.com along with the young artist's name, age, date, contact info, title of piece and medium used.
Prize: $100 gift certificate for art supplies from the winner's art supply store of choice.
Be as creative as possible and all artwork must be created solely by the young artist. We ask that no gore be depicted. Artwork will be judged based on originality and use of medium, and all mediums will be accepted. (All EHAG family members are excluded from participation.)
The artists of EHAG are obviously not the first generation to create Halloween art, and we certainly will not be the last. So, we decided to sponsor a kid's art contest that both celebrates our most favorite holiday and nurtures their creative spirit! And, as we know that there must be children out there that love both art and Halloween, why not begin to encourage them today!
Good luck, and we look forward to seeing your creative Halloween art entries!
