Patch's Little Pumpkin Costume Challenge with Heidi Klum

Mercer Island, your photos could make your kid a Halloween star!

Which kid in America has the most creative Halloween costume in the pumpkin patch? That's what we intend to find out with your photos and the help of celebrity judge Heidi Klum, who will select the Grand Prize winner.

Check out Mercer Island's Ethan Schwartz, dressed up as "Waldo" from the "Where's Waldo" children's book series and featured in a photo attached to this story — Waldo seems to be a popular costume this year. So what will your children wear?

Entering is easy. Just upload a photo of your kid, 12 years of age or younger, in his or her Halloween costume. Entries must be made by the parent or legal guardian of the child photographed. Full rules are here.
