October is now upon us, which means it’s time for
Bolchazy-Carducci’s annual Halloween costume contest, Dolus aut Dulce! In past years, we’ve received entries that relied
on witty wordplay, sublime clothing-design skills, and everything in between. This
year, we are adding a new category to the contest: we now invite you to submit
pictures of your Halloween-themed classics classroom in addition to photos of classical
costumes.
We are also expanding the ways in which you can participate
in the contest:
- Follow @BCPublishers on Twitter and then tweet us your photo using the hashtag #BCPub.
- Like us on Facebook and submit your photo entry on our page timeline.
Remember, there are two entry categories: costume photos and
classroom decoration photos. The winner in each category will receive a choice
of either ten paperback copies of the Grinch (in Latin) or a $50 book
credit. Once the contest has ended, Bolchazy editors will judge all submissions
and award one prize per category based on the following criteria: creativity,
quality, and connection to classics.
No need to wait until October 31 to send a picture. Also,
don’t feel bound by temporal restrictions: if you have photos of yourself in
classical dress for non-Halloween reasons, or you have pictures of Halloween
classroom decorations from years past, feel free to submit. (Please, just no
resubmissions of entries from previous Dolus
aut Dulce contests.) We enjoy seeing how participants express their
creativity and love of the classics and may share photo submissions on all of
our social media sites, as well as our blog—we can’t wait to see how you
celebrate classics Halloween!
We will start accepting photos October 1 and will continue to
accept pictures until 11:59 p.m. CT on Sunday, November 3.
