Costume Contest Theme

CJ and her Crew are shipwrecked into a haunted - some say cursed -  wood. What monsters might they find? Brightly colored legendary creatures? Monsters from the depths of a haunted lake? 

Bring out your best fantasy inspired costumes that give life to the mythical and magical among us!

Costume Contest Time & Details

This year's Costume Contest will run much the same as the conteset we held at Moonlight in 2024, for those who were present! 

It will take place during the first part of our Shipwreck Gala Dinner on Saturday October 31st. Entrants will be given a number and then asked to proceed across the stage to show your hard work off to our panel of Stone Staff judges and dinner attendees alike! If you have a skit or routine that you think adds to your costume you are welcome to add that, but we ask that it be kept to under 30-45 seconds to give everyone a chance to shine. Skits are always a crowd favorite, but note that they do not factor into judging - this is a pure costume contest where entrants will be judged on creativity and execution of their outfits!

Five winners will be selected and presented with Calypso's Fury - a LE-10 Harmony by Ashley Palmer! Five are awarded to winners of the Costume Contest, and five are awarded to winners and participants in the Scavenger Hunt. You can see her full details by clicking her picture at the bottom of this page!

If you have any questions about the Costume Contest - or anything else - you can always reach out to us at service@stonehorses.com! See you soon!
