I totally have entries for this contest. However, I don't have my username on the pumpkins and they've been thrown away since. But I have pictures. What should I do?

Could you take a photograph of your username in the same location that the pumpkins were photographed?

its not really a stenciled pumpkin either. there's not really a category it fits in except maybe that one. its fort off based off of stencils I'd seen before.

Perhaps I need to clarify. The reason we must require a username is that, in the past, people have simply searched Google for images and entered those in order to scam our contests. People have done this for drawings also, so including a username is necessary there as well.
Submitting photos of your house is uneccessary and does nothing to confirm the validity of your entry. You can submit a photograph of your username in the same location that one of your pumpkin photos were. That will prove that it was taken by you.
We do realize that the late start has made this a pain for everyone, including the staff who were expecting to have things start earlier. Had we known, threads like this one would probably not have been created.

A fact I knew and was not willing to go take pictures at the front of my house in the middle of the night (and in the rain) to do so for some website contest. I figured you would have noticed the timestamps and would have expected an edited or second post to be coming soon. I will take pictures in a minute though. Either way, don't appreciate your tone even if it's generally polite.
by the way, I am editing the original post and not including proof photos here.

If Seito can carve grapes, then maybe I'll get off my butt and try to carve some apples.
I can't guarantee any finished product or that I'll leave with all my fingers intact, but it sounds like a fun challenge. :lol:

I have SO MANY APPLES!
I went to a local orchard last weekend and they had a deal on buying the pick-your-own half bushels. I've been eating about four every day and still have a huge bag full. :lol:

That's such a shame. Apple picking is a fun autumn thing that just about everyone does around here. We used to have school field trips to orchards and pumpkin patches all the time. :yes:
New York has apple orchards everywhere, it's tough to avoid them. I was just anxious to get apples before the frost really set in and wiped them out for the season. This was the last haul of the year and now I don't even know what to do with them all!

That sounds like alot of fun! I really want to do that one day.
I think the closest thing we have here is pineapple and I don't think we can actually go in and pick them. xD Well as the old saying goes, an apple a day keeps the doctor away! xD

Pineapples are so weird. I only learned that they grew from bushes a few years ago. :lol:

I feel like they should come from a tall tree, like bananas or coconuts. Not a bush thingy on the ground.
I also learned that unripe pineapples are actually poisonous. So weird! From now on, I'll just have to stick with fruits I trust. :lol:

Hehe. At least they make for easy growing in yards though. However you only get one per brush if I recall right xD Maybe two. I don't remember.
xD Apples and bananas! xD
