Meet the Winner of the AYA Halloween Costume Contest!

Every year, AYA exchange students are immersed in Halloween traditions in the United States: pumpkin carving, corn mazes, trick-or-treating, dressing up in costume and more. This year, we decided to have a Halloween Costume Contest for AYA students and host families across the U.S. and left it up to the Facebook community to pick a winner. The entry with the most likes and comments won. Thank you to everyone who entered and voted!

Without further ado, here is the winner of the 2016 AYA Halloween Costume Contest:
The Carson Family from New York!

Check out all of the finalists below!
