Spotlight On Little Monsters

The 2010 Witches And Wizards

Costume Contest For Kids

SM City Iloilo was turned into a huge house of fright as children age three years old and up donned their spooky Halloween costumes and lurked around the mall last October 31, 2010 for the annual Witches and Wizards Costume Contest for Kids.

Little girls dressed like witches were the ones who dominated the crowd. Their bloodcurdling faces and huge brooms frightened little kids, as well as adults. There were also young boys on wizard costumes, who waved their wands and mumbled their spells as they passed by a crowded lane. Other kids were clad as animals, super heroes, and characters from folklores and ghost stories.

The participants of the contest paraded around the mall and were asked to pose on stage afterwards. They impressed the crowd with their horrifying facial expressions and body movements as their names were called one by one. The much-loved costumes were awarded with big prizes. This year’s category included the scariest costume, the funniest costume, and the most creative costume.

Other kids, who did not reach the age requirement of the contest, also dressed up to celebrate Halloween. They roamed around the mall carrying pumpkin baskets to collect candies from the event sponsors. It was also a family day, because parents and grandparents enjoyed a lot of their time with the kids.
