I would have voted...

but, I'm probably the only idiot who couldn't figure it out!




I missed it too. I didn't know we could vote!

I would of had to go buy a pumpkin for no other reason than to carve it for a contest I knew I would not win, and winning is the point

Those were my issues, it seemed like the contest was more geared towards people with families or a little one. Non of the people I know pick up a pumpkin unless making a pie or small vegetarian stuffed dish.

That is some insight into that, take what you will from it.

The scavenger hunt is confusing as all holy hell and I am not in favour of it.


I dont use social media, so people who do all these tweets and facebook entries have a massive leg up on me, What I do is unique and creative video or picture entries, but I can only have one of each, even if they are completely different.


Above all that you must understand people are mostly lazy now.

Thank you everyone for the upumpkin votes!

I agree with mintbbb, it was fun and I was surprised to place as well! ALL the carvings were so creative! (Marine, you made me do a spit-take when you called your aging pumpkin a 'sagging asshole', ha!)

I also forgot how difficult it is to carve. All I had was this kitchen knife that kept seeming to get larger, it was like doing brain surgery on a squirrel with a chainsaw.
*counts fingers*

Thank you! Wow, it was a tight race, and I am surprised I actually got a prize! You guys carved some cool pumpkins Congrats to everybody, you have some serious carving skills.

It was fun, and made me actually carve a pumpkin, which I haven't done in about 8 years (and carving is dang hard - my knife refuses to go where it needs to go, and the frigging pumpkins are so thick to begin with! When I was dreaming about carving a pumpkin while growing up in Finland, I thought it would be fast and easy. But hey, I also though peanut butter was sweet and like Nutella..)

I like @Sublime carving of Russell Crowe shooting a pistol and portrait of Ann Coulter

Sorry to hear that.

The MoMA carved van Gogh’s The Starry Night into a pumpkin

My subliminal sift pumpkin! (I'm late to the party and it's not that great...and I'm lucky I didn't slice my finger off when I slipped carving the F, heh.)

Yours is pretty excellent. It's not professional-grade like @Sublime's, but his are in a different category of carving.

I'm still hoping a few more people are just late-comers like yourself. Otherwise, picking the three winners will be easy.

Thanks for that. No hard feelings at all. Please accept my apologies as well if I seemed a bit brash. Glad to have a heated discussion in a (mostly) civilized manner.

I just submitted mine to the list, but I have nothing on the guy who made the walking dead pumpkin

Bummer more people didnt participate :

Hey sorry about whatever we were arguing about earlier too, I tend to get riled up easily these days because no one likes to argue with me anymore it seems (perhaps I should go to law school?) and when I get started I really enjoy the argument for the sake of arguing. Nothing personal chief.

Those are some phenomenal carvings. Did you carve freehand or transfer a sketch? Do you use any professional carving equipment?

Excellent carving, @JiggaJonson. That's a really fantastic looking jackolantern!

Sorry for the late entry (I usually wait until close to Halloween). Mine took about 3-4 hours and I usually spend about an hour or so staring at the pumpkin im about to carve trying to "find a face" as I call it. I think it turned out pretty cool
