Fountain Scare

Any resident of Fountain Square may enter the competition. Photos can be of either/both interior and exterior decoration. Businesses and current board members of FSNA are ineligible. 

Decorations should not cover or interfere with any public safety equipment or public walkways. Submissions that are deemed to be discriminatory, political, or inappropriate for children are ineligible. (Think PG13)

Submitting your entry is easy! Take photos of your decorated home. Post the photos to either Facebook or Instagram (or both!). All submissions must (1) tag the Fountain Square Neighborhood Association (@fountainsquareneighbors on Instagram), (2) use the hashtag #FountainScare2024 and (3) that your post audience is set to Public.

All entries must be posted to social media by Friday, October 25 by 10:00p ET.

Optional: Fountain Scare Decorating Contest Map Entry - Fill out the form to be added to FSNA's Fountain Scare map so that neighbors can take a peek at your fun and spooky decorations! 

All entries will be scored by the 2024 Fountain Scare committee. The committee will assess each entry using the following criteria, each of which is given equal weight:

• Creativity

• Use of materials or items

• Attention to detail

• Overall aesthetic

The winner will be announced on Halloween and will receive (1) a cash prize, (2) a yard sign proudly proclaiming your victory, (3) a feature in the Urban Times in Fountain Square’s column, and (4) the coveted 2024 Fountain Scare trophy.
