Happy Friday! Halloween weekend is upon us! It’s a time to put the finishing touches on your costumes and get ready for a fun-filled few days of celebrating and trick-or-treating!

If you still need a Halloween costume and just can’t think of what to do, you may want to consider getting a basic mask and adding your own touch of creativity.  A scary twist here and there, can actually turn into the perfect costume this year.  Even if you don’t end up wearing it out, you can snap a photo of your creation and submit it to the FreeScore Halloween Mask Contest, which ends in five days the morning of November 3rd.

The grade prize, isn’t to shabby either at $583, with second and third prize reaching $200 and $100.

The most creative mask able to spook our judges wins big!

Happy Halloween!

Rummaging through last year’s pile of Halloween costumes, trying to get some inspiration for this year? Well before you toss those out-dated, ghastly costumes, be sure to put them to good use!  Enter FreeScore.com’s Halloween Mask Contest for a chance to win $583 – a number that plays on the character, Billy BadScore’s, bad credit score.  Even if you doubt your mask is worthy of winning the grand prize, you still have a chance at second or third — prizes totaling $200 and $100 Visa gift cards, respectively.  Not bad for a costume you’ll be bidding farewell to anyhow.

The contest is very easy to enter as well.  Simply “Like” us on Facebook, upload your scariest mask photo and provide some basic contact details.  It’s so easy, it’s quite scary.  Just be sure to enter before the November 3^rd deadline!  If you want to increase your chances of winning, share the contest with your friends and family and get them to vote for you from November 4^th through 10^th.  Hey, it could even spark their creative juices and get them submitting a scary photo of their own! It’s a win-win situation.

Here are a few tips to make sure your photo meets our requirements:

• Be scary! Show us your scariest, spookiest Halloween mask.
• Be creative! Making your own bloodcurdling mask, or adding a dose of horror to an existing one, will earn you extra points for creativity and originality.
• Cover up! Mask should cover over 50% of the face and reflect the Billy BadScore ‘scare’ theme.
• Keep it tight! Crop your photo so the judge’s attention is on the mask, not an entire costume or group of costumes.
• Format it! Photos should be saved as .jpg or .gif format.

Before you run off to trick-or-treat or party all night, do us a favor and SCARE us with your mask!  Happy Halloween.
