Costume Voting Ballots

A costume contest without ballots is just people arguing. These printed ballots give the competition structure and let every guest cast a proper vote across multiple categories.

What’s Included

• Printable ballot sheets with 8 ballots per page
• Each ballot includes voting lines for 6 categories:
  • Best Overall Costume
  • Scariest
  • Most Creative
  • Funniest
  • Best Couples/Group Costume
  • Best DIY/Handmade
• Space for nominee names beside each category
• Tear-along perforations marked between ballots
• Gothic border with skull-and-crossbones ballot seal
• Compact 3.5 x 5 inch ballot size

Design Details

The ballot layout is deliberately simple so guests can fill them out quickly without missing a category. Each ballot fits in one hand and takes under a minute to complete. The categories were chosen to give multiple costume styles a path to victory, because the person in the $300 store-bought costume and the person wearing a cardboard box painted to look like a coffin both deserve a shot. The gothic styling keeps the ballots on-theme without making them hard to read in dim lighting.

Print multiple sheets (plan for one ballot per guest per round if you want to run elimination voting). Cut along the perforation marks. Collect completed ballots in a cauldron or decorative box. Tally results during a game break and announce winners with appropriate ceremony. Our costume contest ideas guide covers categories, judging formats, and prize suggestions.
