Masks for the first 50 people, and a Makeup artist from Kincaid Theatre will be on hand from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. to help complete your look (think of this like quick touch up services). All are welcome to enter the costume contest for a chance to win prizes.
Must be 21 years of age or older to attend The Malice Ball. No physical tickets will be issued; names will be checked in the day of the event. Tickets are non-refundable.
How to Enter the Costume Contest:
Visit the photo booth between 8:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. as you enter the main doors, register, and have your photo taken. Judges will review all entries and bring the 10 finalists to the stage for the final round of judging with the help of the audience. All registered participants in the costume contest (not just top 10) are invited to join in a parade down the "red carpet" and should meet in front of the stage at 10:30 p.m. Prizes will go to the top three costumes with an eye for creativity, effort and execution. First place prize is an overnight stay at the
21C, and second place prize is a 10-class pass for
The Yoga Bar (plus a cool water bottle!). Third place prize is a gift basket from Artichoke. We have runner up prizes from Spruce Nail Shop, Segway, and The Rhined Cheese Shop. Remember, we're all here to have FUN, and we are doing our very best to make the costume contest a good experience for you! The Malice Ball is a diverse, community Halloween Party raising money for the OTR Chamber's Business First Program. When you're preparing your costumes, please keep in mind our goal of having fun and fostering creativity in a tasteful way.
Complimentary snacks provided by these fine establishments (while supplies last): Bottle & Basket,
Brezel, Holtman's, Lucy Blue Pizza, and Trader Joe's.
All proceeds from the Malice Ball benefit the Over-the-Rhine Chamber's Business First Grant Program, which has assisted more than 30 small businesses and entrepreneurs with seed funding.
