I wish I had thought to put my name in the picture of the one I carved at school during midterms... But sadly it'll probably be gone by the time I get back on Monday.

So good luck to everyone else who enters and I can't wait to see everyone else's pumpkins/turnips/etc!!

Well... Even though I can't enter it, I'm still proud of it and want to show it off to you guys! I free handed it based on an image of the Cheshire cat's face from the Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland. :)

I have a question!

I carved a pumpkin for Halloween, but the pictures I took (before it fell apart) don't have my username in it...can I use paint or something to put it in...(not that it would win-I just want to enter) since I can't go back in time and add it? XD

Where did you take the picture? If you can take a picture of the same location with your username in it, and submit that as well as the pumpkin, I'll accept that.

I'm on the same boat as Cat Eye, I had a nicely carved pumpkin, but a bout of warm weather has done it's damage, I'm afraid. I have some photos of it freshly carved, but it does not have my username with it. The photos only really show a bit of the table (if that) so I'm not sure the area would be recognized, but could I perhaps provide a photo of it now to prove I have it? (I warn you though, it isn't pretty)

You can do that, yes, it would be fine. You can also do what I suggested to Cat, and take a picture of the location, with your username.

K it's really hard to take a picture of myself and the sign with my name on it.... You can see a bit of the same shelf in both pictures though so I hope that when I get the pics off my camera it'll be ok. :)


Edit: wow I posted in the wrong contest thread XD

I was going to say, I hope my directions weren't so unclear you thought you needed to include all that in your photos!

Roachi: You don't have the orange pumpkins, do you have another kind?
Remember, it's gourds and turnips, not just orange pumpkins. Find something you think may be a match for gourds and then ask Biggles if that's okay. \ o /

I'm going to put it in nontraditional, sabiir. Traditional is for the classic face style of pumpkin.

ALL ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE.

I'm going to clarify the nature of the categories, so there's no struggling when it comes to submitting the form.
  • Traditional
    These are the carved pumpkins that first come to mind when you think of Jack o' Lanterns. These have faces.
  • Nontraditional
    These are carved patterns or scenes or images that aren't faces.
  • Painted
    These are are pumpkins that have no carving involved and are all, well, painted.
  • Stenciled
    if you used a kit pattern/stencil or something prefabricated/not your design, you need to enter it in this category.

I know some of you are disappointed that you can't carve or submit whatever organic matter you have access to. I understand that frustration. However, as this is my first year doing this, literally comparing apples to oranges (to pumpkins) is not something I wanted to do in the judging. I just thought it would be too confusing and possibly unfair. I know you don't all have access to the traditional pumpkin, and I wanted to expand the scope to plants in the gourd family or even the trusty old turnip, thinking this would help, but it seems that is still limiting for some of you. I regret if this is prohibitory, but at this point such rules have to stay in place.

I hope so too! But as it's after the holiday, I can understand why people wouldn't be compelled to carve one now...

Biggles >> << >> I'm not 100% sure about this first one. It's got paint and was slightly carved (by slight it was attempting to shave the top layer off and failing... hard) So I'm submitting it to paint?

It turned out pretty well considering all I had to paint with was nail polish xD

All entries so far recorded. No stencil entries so far. If you have one on your hands, you've got a very good chance of winning 3000 big ones just by entering, guys.
