THE EASY VERSION: Wear an approved costume (see Official Rules below) to the Captain Slinky Presents Oddmall Emporium of The Weird SPRUNG 2026 Art, Craft & Gift Show at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA. Find the Oddmall Headquarters at the back of the room and have them take your picture, which we will post on our Oddmall social media accounts for all to see. Fill out the official Entry Form (which will ask you for your name, age, costume and a way to contact you if you win) and give it to us. We then check The Big List Of Prizes to see if you won one of over 100 Costume Contest Prizes, and THAT’S IT! No entry fee! No walking out on a stage! No Costume Parade! Just show up in a costume, fill out the form, take a pic, get a prize, DONE! Winner will be announced and contacted before Thanksgiving!
PRIZES!!!
Prizes will be handed out for over 20 different “Mystery Categories” that you won’t even know you’re competing for! Past prize categories have been “Best Themed Couple”, “Most Wheels”, “Cutiest Patootie”… Prizes may include Stickers, T-Shirts, and CASH ranging anywhere from $1 to $50! BOTH DAYS!
OFFICIAL RULES
1) ONE ENTRY PER PERSON. I know a lot of you could just bring 47 costumes and spend the day entering each and every one of them; please don’t! Multiple entries will be disqualified.
2) APPROVED COSTUMES must be PG-rated at most and adhere to our strict “Nips & Bits” Dress Policy – Nips & Bits must be covered at all times! This is WASHINGTON STATE, after all – you’ll FREEZE! Costume must also include shoes due to health and safety regulations.
3) NO FUNCTIONAL WEAPONS, even if you’ve got a permit! That’s firearms, projectile weapons, swords, knives, etc. – If your costume relies on a weapon, you better make sure that it is OVERLY APPARENT that it is not a real weapon! Nerf Guns, sure… BUT DON’T SHOOT THEM EXCEPT IN DESIGNATED AREAS! A lot of our vendors have delicate, fragile product and/or delicate, fragile dispositions.
4) HARASSMENT POLICY: Harassment includes offensive verbal comments (related to race, gender, sexual orientation, body size, disability, appearance and religion), overly sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact and unwelcome sexual attention. If you feel harassed at Oddmall, please come get Captain Slinky or Mama Slinky so we can nip it in the bud! We want Creepsmas to be fun, family friendly, and about the Oddness. And remember… Cosplay is Not Consent. Don’t be a Dick.
5) PRIZES are: INSTANT WINNERS – Random prizes which may include – CASH ENEVLOPE ($5 – $50!), Limited Edition Oddmall Creepsmas T-Shirt ($15 value), Oddmall Sticker Packs ($5 Value), Collectible Action Figures ($5-$25 Value), Board Games ($10-$40 Value), Assorted Silly Things (PRICELESS). EVERYBODY WHO ENTERS (ALL) – Limited Edition Oddmall Creepsmas Poster (Priceless!)
6) ELIGIBILITY: This contest is open to all Oddmall attendees and Vendors as long as they follow all the rules. Winner will be chosen by Oddmall staff based on vibes.
