CALL FOR ART: Creepy Baby Doll Contest!

CALL FOR ART: Creepy Baby Doll Contest!
We're all scared of something. Ghosts, spiders, zombies, knife-wielding maniacs, things that go bump in the night... but is there anything weirder than a creepy baby doll? That initial feeling of sweetness and innocence offset by that vacant stare and bizarre clothing so far from a harmless, sweet toy…
Announcing our 2nd CREEPY BABY DOLL CONTEST held Oct. 25, 2025 on Haunted Harmony night. Think "Halloween for Adults" in our historic town known for spiritual activity. Check out the scary fun here: https://www.facebook.com/share/19xqaEuGZc/
Last year's winning doll by Kenzie McCullough is a hard act to follow, but we know you can do it!
You're invited to submit your original, handmade creepy baby dolls by bringing them to the Bottlebrush Gallery and Center for the Arts, 539 Main Street, Harmony, weekends only: Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 12pm-4pm. Last day to drop off your spooky creations is Sunday, October 19th, 4pm.
Contest Guidelines:
- Limit two entries per person.
- Dolls should be no more than 2' tall.
- Go wild with this idea but no nudity or profanity please. All dolls will go through a review for acceptance by Bottlebrush Gallery and the Harmony Business Association.
- All dolls must be handmade, no commercial, mass market dolls. Show us YOUR creativity!
- Each doll should have a tag attached with its name and your contact information. We will have tags for you at the Gallery. If you want to include a description of the doll's creepiness, feel free!
- Entry fee of $5 per doll, due at time of drop-off at the Gallery.
- Voting will be held at the Gallery on Saturday, Oct 26, 11am-8pm.
You can vote for your favorite doll by purchasing a ticket during our Haunted Harmony event ($1 each) and dropping it into that doll's box. The doll with the most tickets will receive a CASH award, a ribbon and bragging rights.
If you need a doll, we have some at the Gallery.
Show us what you’ve got! You can’t creep us out... we've seen some awesomely weird dolls.
