October Pumpkin Carving Contest

Post by Madd »

What time is it? October time. And what do we do at this time of the year? We carve some orange spherical objects, of course. So go forth and slash some squash.

Anything goes – make your pumpkins horribly disfigured, amusing, or anything your twisted minds can create. There are, however, a few rules:
You must have a sign with your username in your picture, as well as the year ("Tristan 2012!" etc)
You may crop and scale a photo, but no major photo editing will be accepted.

While you can enter as many pumpkins as you desire, only three people will win. These winners will be chosen through secret magical means, and will be announced shortly after the contest ends – 11:59pm eastern time, October 31st.

The lucky victors will receive the following:
1st place: 20 crystal shards.
2nd place: 10 crystal shards.
3rd place: 5 crystal shards.

Now go collect sharp knives and carve up some jack-o'-lanterns. If you hurt yourself, please don't tell anybody that it was my idea. Good luck!

Oohh, Sounds like fun. But, the thread is still locked(and says 2011 Carving contest)

Also, the FAQ thread seems to have been moved into the Pumpkin carving thread and is locked- 56-pumpkin-carving-competition/88066-fa ... ml?start=0 (which seems to have removed it being found in the Overview of the User Control panel)

OOOOO Yay! Another excuse to buy me some decorative gourds and go to town!
Hawke's IRL fiance, Lunaroki, suffered a massive stroke and died on Tuesday, March 31st, 2015.

Hawke needs to concentrate on other things, and is leaving MS permanently.

Thank you all for many fun years.

just out of curiosity, do these pumpkin pictures have to be ones you've done? Like, they can't be ones you're found on Google images?

You have to do the picture(s) yourself. That's one reason why you have to have a sign with your username and the year in it, to prove you really did it yourself and aren't trying to pass of someone else's work as your own.

Can we paint the pumpkins or is it just carvings that will be accepted?

Mrrr. I'd love to do this, but my parents were against it last time (we don't celebrate Halloween for religious reasons - but I only want to do this for the shards! XD ).
Well, good luck to all the participants, and hopefully I'll be joining in. :D
