One of the most popular and fun Halloween traditions is trick-or-treating—an activity where children dress up as witches, wizards, goblins, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, zombies, mummies, and other terrifying creatures (or their favorite fictional characters), go door-to-door asking for candy, and play pranks on those who don't share their treats. For this month's challenge, we want you to depict your favorite characters dressed up for Halloween and going trick-or-treating! Candy Corn

Rules

  • Create fan art of your favorite character from any franchise dressed up and trick-or-treating for Halloween. You can draw multiple characters in a scene and dress them up as any Halloween monster, another character, a Pokémon, etc. The possibilities are endless.

  • Only Fan-Art accepted. No Original Characters allowed.


  • Use #TrickorTreatFA26 among your tags.


  • Submit your entry to the contest folder on @Fan-Art-World. Membership to the group is required to submit to the folder. All membership requests are automatically accepted.


  • Your work should be created specifically for this contest, which means no work submitted before October 01, 2026.


  • You can submit as many entries as you like, but only one of them may win a prize.


  • AI and AI-assisted images are not eligible for this contest. Entries made with AI-assistance will be summarily declined.

  • All submissions to the group are carefully reviewed to ensure no AI-assisted work is accepted. If an entry raises concerns about possible AI involvement and doesn't pass review, it will not be accepted into the group's folders. All decisions are final; we don't have the bandwidth to accommodate discussions or appeals regarding declined entries.

STARTS: October 01, 2026 12:00 AM (UTC -08:00)

ENDS: October 31, 2026 11:59 PM (UTC -08:00) (What time is that for me?)
