  • Halloween Pumpkin Event

    by Sethisto
    Source
    I think it's close enough to Halloween to start this up.  Our Halloween Pumpkin event is going to be much simpler than the last couple of contests.

    From now until Halloween day, grab a pumpkin, carve some pony, and send it to [email protected] with PUMPKIN as the subject.  We will take the top 30 on the final day and compile them into an event post.

    Deadline: October 29th at 11:59 PM


    What to include in the email:
    • A Picture of your pumpkin
    • A Source link or name
    • PUMPKIN as the subject line (Nothing else)
    If you want to be awesome, take that cell phone/camera picture and re size it down to a maximum of 1000x1000.  If you don't know how to do that, don't worry about it.

      I'd have to go with one of Twilight's manic faces, so that when I mangled it, it would still be kind of accurate.

      Hey there. Hope this gets read. A few video game sites did something similar to this last year, and there was a TON of fighting because some pumpkins were actually fully carved, while others used ink stencil for some or all of the work. You may want to look into the different techniques, and make a decision if they're acceptable for the contest.

      For anypony who has one, Hobby Lobby has durable, foam-like pumpkins made just for carving without half the mess, the smell or the disposal.

      Meaning, your pumpkin carved this year, can also be next years.

      I'd advise against using a candle inside, just because it's reusable, unless you put a tray or something to catch the wax.
      It's also light and might get blown over in a strong enough wind.

      @Bombedrumbum
      I'm using a store that I've been to maybe five times in as many years as a source for fake pumpkins to use in the event in place of real ones that can't be reused. It's not like I go to every store in existence and check who has fake pumpkins and who doesn't. I just happened to see them when I went for clay last month.

      And aside from one Target while looking just for the Canterlot display, it's the only store I've been to in the last month.

      They may have them at Joann, they may have them at Michael's. I'm not going to go and say they do when I haven't been there.

      Well, looks like my parents are gonna find out what my favorite show is nowadays this Halloween.

      Mom: What is that?

      Me: A pony!(yes i will say it enthusiastically, i am silly like that.) to be specific, its Rainbow Dash.

      Mom: Why?

      Me: Rainbow Dash is the best! Thats why.

      You'll need to add coloured cellophane for her mane. That, or line it with coloured lights. Then you'll have the most colourful pumpkin that's *Insert Rainbow Dash catchphrase here*.
