4. How to enter

1. Sign up with your email at the top of this page (specialartbooks.com/pages/halloween-contest) to get the 6 pages to color, on us. Signing up is optional if you enter on Instagram, TikTok or in our Facebook group: it gets you the 6 pages and, after the Contest, the thank-you booklet by email.
2. Color a page from Spooky Halloween, Spooky Things or Spooky Christmas (illustrated by Saemi Oliveira), from Happy Halloween (illustrated by Inna), or one of the 6 pages we send you.
3. Share your finished page (a photo, a scan or a short video) during the Contest Period, in ONE of these ways:
   • in our Facebook group “Special Art - Artwork” (facebook.com/groups/681139305973179): join the group (anyone can ask to join; the group admins approve requests), then add your page as a comment on the pinned Contest post; or
   • on Instagram, from a public account, with the hashtag #SpecialArtHalloween and the tag @specialart_coloring; or
   • on TikTok, from a public account, with the hashtag #SpecialArtHalloween and the tag @specialartbooks.

On Instagram and TikTok, the tag and the hashtag are required: without them we can’t find your page. In our Facebook group, just add your page as a comment on the pinned Contest post. Following us is not required, but we invite you to follow us so you don’t miss the finalists, the vote and our message if you win. Entries posted on a personal Facebook profile are not accepted (Facebook’s rules): on Facebook, please use our group.

Our official profiles:

• Instagram: @specialart_coloring
• TikTok: @specialartbooks
• Facebook page: Special Art Coloring
• Facebook group: Special Art - Artwork
• Pinterest: specialartcoloring

Limit: one (1) entry per person. The page must be colored by you. Entries that are offensive, copied, or that include other people’s personal information will not be accepted.

Please also add #contest to your caption, so people can see that your post is a Contest entry. Your post must stay public until the winners are announced. Pages colored by children are welcome in the “Your Pages” thread of our Facebook group, but they are not Contest entries. Please don’t include photos, names or other personal information of children, or of anyone else, in your entry.

5. How winners are chosen

Step 1 · Finalists. After the Contest Period, a panel of judges chosen by the Sponsor, including illustrator Saemi Oliveira (@saemiart), will review all eligible entries and select ten (10) finalists. They score them on:

• creativity (40%);
• use of color (40%);
• overall impression (20%).

Before the finalists are published, the Sponsor will ask the selected entrants to confirm in writing their age and country of residence (for Canada, the province). An entrant who is not eligible, or does not reply in time, is replaced by the next highest-scoring entry.

Step 2 · Community vote. On November 1, 2026, the Sponsor will publish the 10 finalist entries, numbered and credited, in one post on Instagram @specialart_coloring and in the same post in the Facebook group “Special Art - Artwork”. From publication until November 3, 2026, 11:59 p.m. ET (“Voting Period”), anyone may vote by commenting the number of their favorite entry on either post. One vote per account on each platform: only the first comment with a valid number counts, and replies to other comments are not votes. Votes from the two posts are added up. Reactions, likes, comments posted after the Voting Period and comments anywhere else are not votes. The three (3) finalists with the most votes win first, second and third place. In case of a tie, the entry with the higher jury score ranks higher. Votes must be genuine: no one may offer or accept anything in exchange for votes, or use bots, purchased votes, multiple accounts or vote-exchange groups. The Sponsor counts the votes and may disqualify votes or finalists if it reasonably believes these rules were broken.

6. Prizes

• First place (1): five (5) Special Art books of the winner’s choice. Approximate retail value (ARV): US$75.
• Second place (1): three (3) Special Art books of the winner’s choice. ARV: US$45.
• Third place (1): two (2) Special Art books of the winner’s choice. ARV: US$30.

Total: ten (10) books, total ARV: US$150. Books are chosen from Special Art titles available on the Amazon marketplace of the winner’s country (for example Amazon.com, .co.uk, .ca, .de, .fr, .es, .com.au) and are shipped by Amazon to the winner’s address. If Amazon cannot deliver Special Art books to the winner’s country, the Sponsor will offer an alternative prize of similar value. No cash alternative. Prizes cannot be transferred. The Sponsor pays for the books, their shipping and any import charges, and orders each prize within thirty (30) days after the winner sends a valid shipping address. Any taxes on a prize are the winner’s responsibility, except where the law requires the Sponsor to withhold or pay them. Total number of prizes: three (3). Chances of winning depend on the number and quality of the eligible entries received and on the votes received by the finalists.

Thank-you gift for every participant: after the Contest, every person who signed up and shared an eligible entry receives by email a digital coloring booklet, on us (about 15-20 pages from a Special Art coloring book, chosen by the Sponsor). It is not a prize of the Contest and has no cash value.

7. Winner notification

Winners will be announced on or about November 4, 2026, in the Facebook group and on @specialart_coloring. They will also be contacted by direct message or comment. A winner who does not reply within seven (7) days with a shipping address loses the prize, and an alternate winner may be selected.

Before a prize is ordered, the Sponsor may ask a winner to confirm in writing that they meet the eligibility requirements (age and place of residence). A winner residing in Canada must first correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question. Except where prohibited by law, winners agree that the Sponsor may publish their name or @handle, country and winning entry, without further compensation. For the list of winners, write to support@specialartbooks.com by December 31, 2026.

8. Your page and our use of it
