Frighteningly Asked Questions:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: <\/strong>Does my layout need to be halloween themed, or match the sketch exactly? A:<\/strong> No! Just create a layout using the official Halloween Party Sketch shared in the announcement post as your inspiration. Your entry does not<\/strong> need to match the sketch exactly, but it should be Autumn\/Fall or Halloween focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: <\/strong>I can’t get my hashtag to turn blue! What should I do? A:<\/strong> If your hashtag does not hyperlink, don\u2019t worry! We can still see your post and it will still be a part of the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: <\/strong>How do I vote? A: <\/strong>When the eight entries selected by the Home Office team are posted as a \u201cFeatured\u201d post and ready for voting, like and comment on your favorites! The two layouts with the most engagement (likes, loves, comments) will be the grand prize winners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Can I use older CM products or non-Halloween papers? A:<\/strong> Yes! While we love seeing Halloween themes, you\u2019re welcome to interpret the sketch in your own creative way using any CM products you have on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: <\/strong>I\u2019m new or not apart of the group \u2014 can I still join? A:<\/strong> Absolutely! Everyone is welcome to join the Virtual Crop Group<\/a> and participate. Just make sure you answer the group membership questions and agree to the rules when you join, and you will be approved to join and then you can participate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

So grab your scissors, paper, and pumpkins \u2014 it\u2019s time to show off your spooky creativity! \ud83c\udf83\u2702\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
