Through this challenge, we were able to appreciate artworks that captured the spirit of Halloween.

We could see scenes of Halloween festivals from different parts of the world.

Through works depicting various costumes, decorations, and ghosts, it was a delightful time to feel the atmosphere that Halloween brings.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the challenge with great artwork.

Then, shall we meet the winners of the challenge?

On a dark night, a girl wearing a witch’s hat walks along with ghosts, her lips curved in a soft smile.

Her eyes glimmer with mysterious symbols, making us wonder what kind of magic she might cast on Halloween night.

Thank you, @coffee-cookie, for this enchanting work.

Trick or treat / @Haneen

Children dressed as a witch and a pirate stand at a doorstep, holding out their baskets.

As they shout Trick or treat! and receive candies, we can feel the excitement of Halloween filling the air.

Thank you, @Haneen, for this cheerful work.

happy Halloween / @Maksim

In front of a house decorated with jack-o’-lanterns, people in various costumes walk together.

Even the person about to hand out sweets might drop the basket in surprise, startled by the eerie mood blending with the scenery.

Thank you, @Maksim, for this vivid Halloween scene.

Celebrating Halloween / @HTH

Above a dark cliff, fireworks burst from a chimney into the night sky.

It seems that a witch flying on her broom lit them to celebrate Halloween.

Thank you, @HTH, for this festive work.

Witch / @Laporte

Under a large full moon, a witch is about to take off on her broom over a pumpkin field.

The black cat, frog, and glowing jack-o’-lanterns will surely make Halloween night feel even more haunting.

Thank you, @Laporte, for this mysterious work.

HALLOWEEN / @Nila.x

A black cat and a witch sit by a window under the soft light of a crescent moon.

Seeing the broom beside her, it feels as though the witch will soon head out to the sky once the moon wanes further.

Thank you, @Nila.x, for this calm work.

Hallomoon / @RaYaN

On a night when the moon glows like a jack-o’-lantern, a gray hand suddenly rises from a grave.

Holding a brightly colored candy, it seems to be offering a gift to someone who came to visit on Halloween.

Thank you, @RaYaN, for this creative work.

“Pumpkin kisses & ghostly wishes.” / @sulakshana

Beneath a tree glowing with countless lights, a ghost and a jack-o’-lantern share a kiss.

The sight of the large, mystical purple moon makes it seem like they’re joyfully reunited on the Day of the Dead.

Thank you, @sulakshana, for this poetic work.

Halloween / @Zizou

Near a grave where bats flutter under the full moon, a cute little witch carrying a pumpkin hurries along.

Perhaps she and her black cat are decorating the night with jack-o’-lanterns to welcome Halloween.

Thank you, @Zizou, for this lovely Halloween scene.

Minerva by Paula C. Jensen, 2025. / @Paula_Jensen

In front of a shelf lined with potion bottles, a witch adjusts her glasses deep in thought.

The pumpkin on the desk and the pot in her hand suggest she’s preparing new magic for Halloween night.

Thank you, @Paula_Jensen, for this atmospheric work.





These are the 10 winners.

Congratulations!
