Show off your pet’s spooky Halloween costume and win some prizes, all while raising money for the Cambridge Humane Society, through the Halloween Spooktacular Photo Contest.

From now until Oct. 30, you can share a photo of your pet in their Halloween costume for a $5 donation to the humane society, where the public can donate $1 per vote to name them the contest’s winner.

The top three prizes are photoshoots courtesy of TrueFrameMedia along with complimentary prints from those shoots.

Any pet that generates $100 in donations for the humane society receives a Spooky Goody Bag filled with treats for the pet.

All proceeds from the contest go towards supporting the animals at the Cambridge Humane Society.
