For costume enthusiasts, KISR’s “Applauseo- Meter” is back to determine the best Halloween costumes to shower with cash. This year, the first-place winner receives $2,500, second-place winner takes home $1,000, and thirdplace wins $500. Registration begins at 8 p.m. Guests must register by 11 p.m. to be considered. Panel judging runs from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. with Top 10 judging on stage at midnight. Winners must be present to win.

All contestants will be surveyed prior to the start and will be informed if they need to remove any part of their costume that may disqualify them. Guests are reminded that costume masks, full-face paint, hats, hoodies and costume weapons are not allowed outside the designated area of the Garrison Station Event Center.
