Pilot Promotions CFA Cutest Trick or Treaters: How Voting Works & How to Win

Who is behind the CFA Cutest Trick or Treaters photo vote?

Pilot Promotions publishes the contest from its own account on Second Street, pilot.secondstreetapp.com. The platform lists the organization as The Pilot Promotions and files the 2025 ballot under its photo voting promotion type. The publisher is tied to Southern Pines, North Carolina, through The Pilot, which is also the name behind a separate Best of the Pines ballot on the same account.

The contest title packs in an abbreviation, CFA, that the public listing never expands, so no meaning is attached to it here. What the title does say is that the vote is about the cutest trick or treaters, which makes it a Halloween promotion. The listing offers no further description of the entries or of how the winner is chosen.

For a reader sorting through North Carolina contests, the useful distinction is between the host and the publisher. Second Street is only the platform that carries the ballot; Pilot Promotions is the party that set it up and the party whose terms apply. If anything on the live page differs from this summary, the live page wins.

What dates did the 2025 Trick or Treaters vote cover?

Second Street dates the promotion from October 6, 2025 to October 28, 2025, which places the whole contest inside October. The platform shows the ballot as closed.

This is the first confirmed edition; whether it returns next year is not yet published; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

No other year is attached to the contest, so a reader cannot describe a repeating calendar. The late-October close is a fact about 2025 and not a rule for later years. The table below separates what the listing states from the questions it leaves open.

It is also worth noting how the dates sit in the calendar. The ballot closed on October 28, 2025, so anyone who meant to vote in the last days had the web address to hand but not much time to spare. Contests that end close to a holiday reward people who vote early and tell others early, and that is the only planning point the confirmed dates support.

How does voting work on the Pilot Promotions ballot?

A voter reaches the listing, looks at the photographs and registers a favorite with the control the page shows. That summary is as far as the public text goes, and it comes from the promotion type rather than from any instruction text, since Pilot Promotions has printed none for this ballot.

Several practical questions therefore have no public answer. Pilot Promotions has not stated how often one person may vote, whether a login is required or whether the entries are limited to a particular age group or neighborhood. A supporter should treat all of these as unknown and read the live page before telling anyone what to do.

Because the pictured subjects are trick or treaters, the usual courtesy applies: share the ballot address rather than reposting pictures, and leave the choice of who appears to the people who entered them. No individual is named on this page.

How does this ballot compare with other North Carolina photo and pet votes?

North Carolina has a cluster of photo and pet contests on this site, and the Trick or Treaters vote belongs among them. CFA Cutest Kids & Pets 2025 carries the same CFA letters in its title, while 2026 Dog of the Year Contest and 2026 Triangle Dog Of The Year are dog ballots.

Others in the group are 2025 #SAVEFURSYTH Pet Calendar Contest, 2026 East Coast Dogs Calendar Contest and Azalea Festival Pet Royalty Court Contest.

The Trick or Treaters ballot stands apart through its Halloween theme and its closed October 2025 window. Where several of the neighbours center on animals, this one is named for costumed visitors going door to door.

What can supporters do before the next window opens?

With no rules printed, the Pilot Promotions listing is the only authority on what counts. Preparation is modest: keep the Second Street address, tell family that a new window may appear and wait for real dates before asking anyone to vote. The guide to getting more votes online covers outreach that suits photo ballots.

Paid packages for photo contests are described on the general votes page. That page makes no claim about this ballot, and Pilot Promotions alone decides whether outside help is acceptable. Once a new cycle is listed, its published dates should replace any assumption taken from October 2025.

A short message works best for a photo ballot: name the contest, link the exact Second Street address, say which picture to choose and state the closing date from the live page. Supporters can then act in a few seconds without any need for an explanation, and nothing in the message depends on a rule Pilot Promotions has not printed.
