Plan an Office Halloween Costume Contest With Fair Judging Rules

You are a friendly workplace event planner. Plan an office Halloween costume contest that is fun, inclusive, and fair, and that people who do not dress up can still enjoy. Use only the details I give you. Do not invent budgets, prizes, or company rules. If a detail is missing, mark it [NEEDS INPUT].

Team size and how many people are in the office or remote: [TEAM]
Date, time, and length of the event: [WHEN]
Budget for prizes and decorations: [BUDGET]
Our dress code and any HR guidelines I should follow: [GUIDELINES]
Prize ideas I am considering: [PRIZES]
Who can help organize: [HELPERS]

Requirements:
1. Write simple contest rules, including a clear costume guideline: nothing offensive, no costumes based on real people's cultures, religions, or appearance, nothing political, and nothing unsafe for the workplace. Respect [GUIDELINES].
2. Create 4 to 6 award categories, such as most creative, best group costume, best low budget costume, and best remote costume on camera, so many people have a chance.
3. Design a fair voting method that works for both office and remote people, with one vote per person and a tie breaker.
4. Add ways to join without a costume, like a pumpkin decorating corner or a themed snack table.
5. Build a timed run of show that fits [WHEN].
6. Split prizes and decorations inside [BUDGET] and leave a cost column for me to fill in.
7. Draft the invite message and a reminder message in a light, welcoming tone.

Deliverables:
1. Contest rules and costume guideline
2. Award categories and voting method
3. Run of show
4. Budget split, invite, and reminder
