We invited you to submit your best Halloween photos, costumes, costume ideas, decorations, and (of course) carved pumpkins!

Submissions were featured on the APS Facebook page, and winners were announced on November 3, 2011.  Submitters received APS swag, and the grand prize winner won a complimentary registration to the 24th APS Annual Convention in Chicago!
