What I've seen that works well for the public is to have someone announce that
the contest is about to begin and that anyone interested should come up to
stage. You can either have appointed judges or do the winner(s) by crowd
applause. If you're worried about hurting someones feelings you can always have
some sort of side prize such as most imaginative. Hope this helps.

Subject: [h-cost] Judging costume contest? Help!
Our local Habitat for Humanity affiliate is having a theme party fundraiser,
20s/30s era, and is planning a costume contest. The tickets are sold to the
general public and fancy dress is optional, so pretty much anything goes. We
need help with the logistics of it. Should guests have to "sign up" for the
contest, should we just choose someone from the crowd and announce it, how
should we handle it? We really need to make it fun and so that no one's hurt or
embarrassed. (These are guests who are donating $ and playing games, not a
serious special interest group.) Has anyone ever been involved in something
like
this? Any ideas or suggestions are most welcome, thanks!
