Event Timing:
🐶 12 PM: In-person registration opens. Please be here on time lined up at the sign-up table if you are planning to enter your pup, as there are MANY pups and limited runway slots. Eventbrite RSVP does not guarantee competition entry — registration must be done in person.
🐶 4 PM: The show begins! Contestants will walk the red carpet for our panel of distinguished judges.

Competition Details:
Our judges will score dogs in the following categories:

• Originality: Creative costume ideas we haven’t seen before that are perfect for your dog and get the crowd roaring!
• Costume Quality: Whether it's totally impressive or scrappy DIY, we want to see effort!
• Tricks & Treats: Show off some skills! Sit, rollover, howl for the crowd — creativity counts!
• Remember: Only one pup per entry and costumes need to shine in photos. Humans can dress up too, but only the dogs’ costumes will be featured on our cans! So make sure that dogs' costumes makes sense on their own.

Your dog is competing to have their portrait featured on next years Spooky Puppy can labels that’ll be shared far and wide! They will be famous (at least in the Temescal universe)! Keep in mind: Does the costume translate well in a picture? Will the cuteness melt someone at the grocery store?
Note: Only pups’ costumes will be featured on the cans; pet parents are encouraged to dress up, but ensemble costumes with humans will not be considered.

Three winners will take home a prize bundle AND be featured on next year’s Spooky Puppy IPA cans.
