Aquent is the world’s leading marketing and creative staffing agency. For Halloween, we'll be theming the header of our U.S. website (http://www.aquent.com) with a fun Flash/GIF sequence.

Our goal is to showcase our Halloween spirit while highlighting the design skills of the winning creative professional. Our judges will have a bias for humorous, quirky executions that demonstrate exceptional creativity. While ideas related to job searching and/or the workplace will be marginally favored, overall creativity is our primary criteria.

First prize: $275

Second prize: $75

Honorable mentions: Set of Adobe CS3 "Dynamic Learning" reference books from the Aquent Graphics Institute
