of the
Nationwide Costume Competition
LOS ANGELES — It’s gold, new to
the awards club and has a mega-watt smile. It’s a Scorpio and is the envy of
all the other awards in town. It’s “The Jackie,” the official award of the “Hub
Network’s First Annual Halloween Bash” national costume competition, airing Saturday,
October 26, 8–10 p.m. ET/5–7 p.m. PT on the
Hub Network, a destination for kids and their families.
The
jack-o’-lantern inspired award was designed by Oishii Creative and manufactured by Society Awards, the company behind
the awards for the American Music Awards, Directors Guild Awards, Golden
Globes, MTV Video Music Awards and SXSW, among others. With a total height of
18-inches and an estimated weight of 10-pounds, “The Jackie” features a golden
pumpkin elevated on a 2-inch pedestal. The award artfully integrates the iconic
shape of the Hub Network logo into both eyes, and has a welcoming, yet mysterious
smile.
The
first-of-its-kind award will be featured at the “Halloween Bash” which will
include the first-ever nationwide Halloween costume competition, where 50
semi-finalists representing each state in America will win a trip to Los
Angeles to be a part of the televised costume competition judged by
Halloween-expert Martha Stewart, actor Hal Sparks ("Spider Man 2"),
and actress, singer and dancer Coco Jones ("Holla at the
DJ"). One lucky winner will be crowned the “Best in Bash” National
Champion, receive $25,000 and a chance at a walk-on role on the Hub Network’s
Daytime Emmy® Award-winning series, “R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour: The
Series.”
Semi-finalists
will be competing for “The Jackie” in the following categories:
- Howlarious – Shows the lighter side of Halloween with a take on a fun, funny or otherwise hilarious costume.
- Spooktacular – Get ready to frighten America by showcasing the most spine-chilling costume for all the ghosts and ghouls out there.
- Mad Genius – Unique, original, innovative and never seen before. A knight in
armor
fashioned from bottle caps, bat wings made from old umbrellas, or a
cardboard-box jetpack, the possibilities are endless. Display a costume unlike
any other — show your Mad Genius.
- Blast from the Past – Take a stroll down memory lane with a timeless costume. Memories, nostalgia and yesteryear brought to life. Show your take on great figures from before the 20th century or a retro 50’s sock hop get up, 60’s flower child or other “period” inspired costumes.
- Animal Kingdom – Transform into a living creature from the past or present. Be a roaring lion, a school of jellyfish, a firefly, or a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
- Everyday Stuff – We're looking for the coolest refrigerator/freezer, remote control, mailbox, block of Swiss cheese, telephone and more. Be creative and transform the ordinary into the extra-ordinary.
