This application is open to public schools only. There is no fee and no limit to the amount of entries per school/classroom.

We are rolling out a fun scavenger hunt with puzzles to solve along the way, to make sure everyone visits the whole display. Visitors will even get to vote for their favorite scarecrow with recognition for 'best of' scarecrows to be announced at Boo Bash, as well as featured online, in the local paper, and best of all, they get first pick of next year’s prime patch locations. Bring your creativity, gather your team, and please encourage your friends in the community to apply. The more crows the merrier!
