What’s this contest about?:
ChicoBags, maker of yes, all things reusable bags, and Green Halloween, a non-profit, grassroots movement that was created by Celebrate Green author Corey Colwell-Lipson, in order to promote sustainable Halloween traditions teamed up to bring this contest to kids.

I can’t believe the holidays are here again. You can get a jump start on the Halloween season, with this fun Halloween Limited Edition ChicoBag.
