Halloween Purrade Finalists
Karen Nichols

What a great Halloween Purrade we had yesterday!

The judges have weighed in with their picks for finalists. The judging criteria included:

  • Photographic quality
  • Originality
  • Degree of Difficulty
  • LOL factor

We also factored in the comments left on the Purrade post yesterday.

In selecting the finalists, only one entry from each family is eligible for the random drawing of a grand prize winner. So there will be 8 finalists vying for the Grand Prize, to be announced tomorrow.

We will also be awarding a few additional purrizes, including 25 zealies to be awarded as a consolation prize in a random drawing from all entries that didn’t make the finals.

Here are the finalists:

Mercedes 1
Mercy and the Gang as the Wizard of Oz cast
This amazing effort had the judges arguing over which one of these Wizard of Oz characters deserved to make it to the finals. They all deserve it, but per the rules, they’ll only get one entry in the random drawing for the grand prize winner.

king_louis
Louis LeBeau as King Louis XIV

hazelLucy
Hazel Lucy as Candy Corn

The following three entries — Lucky, Eve and Charlie — are from the same family. They all deserve recognition as finalists, but they only get one entry in the random drawing for the finalists.

chewy
Chewy as Eve in the Garden of Eden
Note from one judge: her fig leaves should have been placed a little lower.

charlie-operationKitty
Charlie as Operation Kitty

lucky skunk
Lucky the Skunk

moflyfishing
Mo the Fly Fishing Champ

princesshalloween3
Princess

samoa
Samoa as the Queen of Diamonds

tazasneptune
Taz as God of the Sea, Neptune

charlietheprisoner
Charlie the Prisoner

    They’re all great! Even the ones that didn’t make it to the finals were fantastic. Our Mummy is jealous because she can’t get us to wear costumes. (Speaking of mummies, we had a real laugh at the mummy in the coffin.) They all deserve a prize!

    How the heck you can get a cat to wear anything is beyond me! I think all the cats look wonderful but for some reason I’m drawn to Princess the most.
