Greetings and salutations! I, Jeryck Ashworth, will be hosting Menewsha's pumpkin carving contest this year.

I am also participating in Knerd's Assassin game, so if I seem to be absent from this thread it is probably because I am out "hunting" my targets! *chuckles darkly* Worry not - I will check in daily to see that your entries are properly cataloged.

So, then! Kindly peruse the information below. If you still have questions after reading, please do not hesitate to post them in the thread so that I may attempt to put your mind at ease.

I eagerly look forward to seeing what you will create! *smile*



  • All entries must be your own work. Please do not submit anything you did not carve or create yourself.*
    *Stencils are allowed (except in the Freestyle category!), but must be labeled as such in your entry form.

  • Your entry must show your username somewhere in the photo. A simple way to achieve this is to write it on a slip of paper and place that next to your pumpkin. Please do not edit your name in afterward.
    Note: Given the tardiness of the event, if you have a picture but didn't think to put your name on it and your pumpkin did not survive the night, contact me - we may be able to work something out. *wink*

  • You may submit one entry per category. Were you to create an entry for every available category, this would be 7 entries! It's perfectly okay not to enter them all, however. *chuckle*
    *Entries without a category listed will be placed in whichever category seems to match best.

  • You may not enter with more than one account. Example: If you enter with your "mule" account, you may not also enter with your "main" account.




DUE DATE:

Please submit all entries by the End of the Event.

The Event FAQ should provide ample clues as to when that is. *wink*





PRIZES:


1st Place (1 per category) - 3k gold
2nd Place (1 per category) - 2k gold
Runner-up (1 per category) - 1k gold


Honorable Mentions:
Thematic Honorable Mentions may be awarded and will receive 500 gold each.
(Example: "best Menewsha-themed entry")



Staff Favorites:
The top 3 overall Staff Picks will receive a Prize Medal.*


*As this decision requires all staff to weigh in, awarding this prize may take a bit longer.

  • Frightful - For your darkest, creepiest, most sinister designs.
  • Cute - For designs that are more cheery, as my dear Cessy might like.
  • Abstract - For designs that do not quite fit into the above categories, such as patterns.
  • Stenciled - All stenciled designs must choose this category regardless of whether they are also frightful, cute or abstract!

PUMPKIN ENTRY FORM:
Please complete and paste the following form in this thread to enter.
(You may enter each of the 4 categories once, if you have enough pumpkins!)


Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"][SIZE="5"][B]A PUMPKIN ENTRY![/B][/SIZE]
My pumpkin is ( FRIGHTFUL,  CUTE, ABSTRACT or STENCILED? )
Image: ( paste or link image here )
[/COLOR]





This is a special "freestyle" category for entries that do not involve an actual physical pumpkin. Since we were regrettably late in getting this event to you, we realize that the availability of pumpkins may be a problem (although, many fine foods stores will still carry "pie pumpkins" for baking).

Instead, you may use traditional or digital mediums to create your jack-o-lantern. It may be 2D (painted, drawn, etc.) or 3D (sculpted, sewn, modeled, etc.). Just make sure that it involves a decorated pumpkin and that you include your username somewhere in the image you submit.
  • Frightful - For your darkest, creepiest, most sinister designs.
  • Cute - For designs that are more cheery, as my dear Cessy might like.
  • Abstract - For designs that do not quite fit into the above categories, such as patterns.

    Note: There is no "stencil" category for freestyle entries.

FREESTYLE ENTRY FORM:
Please complete and paste the following form in this thread to enter.
(You may submit a different entry for each category if you wish!)


Code:
[COLOR="DarkGreen"][SIZE="5"][B]A FREESTYLE ENTRY![/B][/SIZE]
My pumpkin is ( FRIGHTFUL,  CUTE, or ABSTRACT? )
Image: ( paste or link image here )
[/COLOR]

I hope this alright for the entry. ^.^ We had the pumpkin when it was living on my window sill in my dorm room.

I don't have images of it with my username. I do have pictures of it placed at my house if you need that though.

So the story is: This darn pumpkin was SOOO fricking hard to carve, I actually broke a knife blade trying to cut it's top off. SOO, plan B was to turn it into Potato Head Pumpkin Princess! Cute huh!




Non-Pumpkin Pumpkins!

They needn't be orange pumpkins, Roachi. Any old gourd you want to carve is fine. *chuckle*

That is a beautiful pumpkin, Nephila, and a touching story. *smile*

I am going over to check on some things, now.. I'll return a bit later.

Thanks guys. It was funny to watch her as she was taking out the pumpkin guts. Squishing, giggling, and wincing and at once.
