Children in Westport are decorating store windows for Halloween.

The Chamber of Commerce organized the art competition for kids of all ages. Spooky characters like ghosts and witches were painted on local shops.

Some of the young artists are taking the contest very seriously.

"It's kind of like, ‘Wow, this is going to be presented, people are going to see it,’" says 11-year-old Sage Franklin. "It's getting your name out there."

The competition has separate divisions for elementary school, middle school and high school students. Judges will pick winners over the next few days.
