Spooktacular 2022 Virtual Halloween Contests
November 1, 2022

NKSFB got into the spooky spirit this year by running two virtual contests across all eight office locations:
- Westwood, CA (HQ)
- Encino, CA
- Santa Monica, CA
- Torrance, CA
- Irvine, CA
- New York City, NY
- Garden City, NY
- London, UK
Even our remote folks and friends across the pond had the opportunity to show off their decorated workspaces and/or share images of their Scary, Creative, and Humorous Halloween costumes this year.
There was 1 workspace winner, and 3 winners for each of the costume categories after a firm-wide vote.
Some contestants were clear standouts as they won across more than one category. We did not sort the submissions per costume category and let the votes speak for themselves.
Congratulations again to the winners!
1) A Virtual Workspace Decorating Contest | In Office or Remote | 1 Winner
