That depends on who you ask. Different cultures celebrate it differently....but where we come from, it's an excuse to dress up for a night in crazy costumes. Young kids go trick or treating, older kids go with them for the free candy.
Trick or Treating is when you go house to house, knocking or ringing doorbells and asking for the candy. So long as you don't knock on a house that's lights are out, everything's fair game.

Why not just have a costume contest and award people that way?

But this way's more fun. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
