Contest Registration OpenRegister now for Monster Makeup Wars and Ms Scary Midwest
MHC is now accepting applications to participate in our two most popular events.
The Bloody Mary Monster Makeup Wars pits fives teams of three artists against each other. Each team is challenged to create the scariest, most creative, monster from the neck up. There is one catch though. They do not know what materials they have to work with until the contest starts and they only have 30 minutes to do it in! If you feel you are up to the challenge submit your application now. We will accept applications through April 16th at which point the five teams will be chosen at random.
Each year the Ms Scary Midwest Pageant searches for the scariest female character. Eight lucky "ladies" will vie for this prestigious award onstage during the Saturday Masquerade Ball. These eight will be selected from all entries, submitted by April 16th, by a panel of judges from around the haunt industry.
Please visit the Contests page of the website for more details and to download the applications.
