#yeghelp is getting stylish this year with prizes for the best dressed, or rather, shall we say, best costume.

You’re always up for a little friendly competition, so get creative. And, don’t worry about being labeled worst dressed in the press; that may be just the boost you need to win!

Below are some looks already taken for the night. So, think of something new.

Reminder: Best costumes win prizes!
