2013 Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest!! $250 Prize! [Ends Oct 31st]

[aspkin]

Here's the deal.

An Executive [VIP] member suggested that we have a pumpkin carving contest this year and I think that's a great idea.

This is open to ALL members of the forum. Anyone can participate.

Theme: Stealth. Whether it's related to eBay or Amazon or stealth in some way, let's keep it spooky. Use your imagination.

Proof: Include your forum username with your pumpkin carving. Either in the carving itself or in a separate sheet of paper next to your carving. Have more then one picture with your entry (a different angle).

Prize: $250 Amazon Gift Card that I will give out!!

Stipulation: You must carve the pumpkin, it must be original, no cookie cutter carvings please. One entry per person.

How: Post your pumpkin carving picture that includes your forum username in THIS thread.

Winner: The person with the most 'Thanks' for their pumpkin carving is deemed the WINNER!

The last day for entry is on the Oct 31st and winner will be declared on the 1st.

Don't let me down, anyone can join in the fun and carve up a pumpkin. The winner receives a $250 Amazon Gift card which I find appropriate.

No cheating. If you're caught cheating you will be banned from the forum. That should be common sense. This is for fun, let's keep it that way.

Detailed photos get more votes so HIGH quality images will usually do better then lower quality images.

Let's get to carving!

Halloween temptation to be banned /blush

Am also debating on Pumpkin vs. Bumpkin....

[GreenBean]

.....bah bah

[Sandy D]

I ran this by my very creative daughter and she is already drawing her plans.

Will this be ok?

How many can one enter?

Can I enter 3 pumpkins?

This is going to be cool to see others creativity.

Does it have to be 100% carved or can it have some painting on it also?

...declare Sandy D to be the winner in advance /bet +1

[GreenBean]

No gambling allowed.

The daughter brought me an awesome drawing.

If we can enter a carved and hand painted pumpkin this is a great one.

Cannot believe what she come up with.

[aspkin]

ONE entry PER person!

It's only fair.

It should be carved. You can paint the carving but it should be carved to be counted.

Amazing what kids with crazy skills can come up with.

Having her own stealth account at 15 years old helps her understand
what is needed.

[TonyAlmeida]

Don't see any Pumpkin up for vote yet

[aspkin]

This weekend I'm expecting pumpkins.. Lol.

Just an FYI.. the sooner you post your pumpkin the MORE votes you get and the higher chances of you winning.

Get to carving.

[Ebayorbust]

As I did not make this myself, it is not an official entry.

I have called it "Limited Again...."
