Registration opens for 6th Annual Niagara Falls Spooky Awards

The Niagara Falls 6th Annual Spooky Awards have returned for 2025, offering residents a chance to win one of nine awards with their outdoor Halloween displays.

This year, nine awards will once again be given across three categories including: judges’ favourite, best effects and people’s choice — awards for first, second and third placing.

Each winner will receive a commemorative lawn sign, with the first place winners also getting a Spooky Awards trophy.

Last year, 60 homes had officially entered the competition.

Public voting will run during that weekend.
