Every year we do this pumpkin event, and every year I am beyond amazed at what people send. I've attempted carving a pumpkin before, and failed horribly, to the point of going from a Trixie to a blob with a wizard hat. This isn't easy.
Below the break, we have 50 glorious pumpkins, with winners at the very bottom. Thanks to everyone for sending them in!
Now go get some pumpkins!
3 Flutterbat Pumpkin - Hawkeye92
Carved for the 2014 event but only finished well after the deadline had passed. Still pretty happy with it though.

4 Derpy Pumpkin - Hawkeye92
A spare pumpkin I had lying around well into November 2014- thought I might as well carve it. This was a first for me at using pins as a tool, used for the cutie mark. Not a lot of contrast for the camera to pick up but it looked good in person.

5 Princess Luna Jack-O'-Lantern - Robert Ian
I have plenty of Princess Luna Soulcalibur 4 and 5 videos on my channel =] Anyway my camera didn't capture the video that well here some links to pictures of my Princess Luna carving. Ps the Pumpkin in the Middle is Captain Blueberry Buckaroos cutie mark, Lunas future husband lol ;) http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m149/bk-77-7/PrincessLuna1A_zpsad124061.jpg?1445463086351&1445463088075&1445463092379 http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m149/bk-77-7/PrincessLuna5B_zpseb97d324.jpg?1445463086346&1445463088059&1445463092365

6 Nightmare Moon Pumpkin - Jenna Shoehorn Duck
This is my first time doing a pumpkin carving like this and I may or may not have gotten a small cut cause of it XD Oh and I'm a duck :3

7 Fluttershy's Stare + Angel - Bunnycake
Considering that Halloween is about all things "scary," but my passion is for all things "cute," I decided to carve cute Fluttershy doing "THE STARE!" And then, as a bonus, I also carved Angel to go beside her looking unamused as usual. (/¬.¬\)

19 Mad Tea Party - Vulpes
Original artwork by Esuka. One of my favorites, had to give making a jack o lantern out of it a try.

I'm starting to think I went a bit overboard with adding text to my pumpkins this year.

29 Cutie Mark Crusaders Cutie Marks Pumpkin! - CMC_Scootaloo
Here it is, my entry for this year's Annual Pumpkin Event of Equestria Daily! And what better could I have chosen for this year's pumpkin than the fresh (and still warm) cutie marks of Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle? Exactly, nothing! I just had to make their cutie marks for this year! Unfortunately, I didn't turn out too well. No, even quite miserable. Drawing their cutie marks is harder than one might think and drawing them on a pumpkin and then carving them adds to the difficulty. And I tremendously failed with my first time here. At least they are somewhat recognizeable..... But I swear I'll be doing this next year again! For the 1 Year Anniversary of them getting their cutie marks I will make pumpkins with their cutie marks again and use my initial idea I had with three pumpkins! Next time they will turn out better, I have more experience now and I will take more time for them then!

31 Derp-O-Lantern - Granpa Pony
I fell in love with this design from CeeMDee. So the design is his. This is my first attempt at carving something other than a traditional pumpkin face. I'd also like to figure out why a white light bulb turns a fake orange pumpkin filled with yellow foam RED! The higher the wattage of the bulb, the redder this thing gets.

36 Who's got my rusty horseshoe? - Nman625
A carving of everyone's favorite (right?) spooky campfire character, the Olden Pony! I hope it is to your liking. ^-^

37 Nightmare moon Pumpkin - Hawkeye92
First of my pumpkin carvings for 2015 and just barely scraping into the deadline for this year's gallery! this is a carving of Nightmare Moon, the pattern drawn onto the pumpkin in charcoal before carving with a stanley knife.

38 Flutterbat Pumpkin - Catherine
This is the second time I have done a My Little Pony pumpkin carving, but the first time I actually entered it into the pumpkin carving event. I did Flutterbat, since it seemed to fit the theme of the season. I know that she is popular for Halloween submissions, but why not?

43 You Will Stay Awake - Andrew Malarenko
This is surprisingly my second pumpkin carving in the past 2 years since I was 8 years old 17 years ago This pumpkin also marks my third year being in the fandom. as for the idea that i got for this pumpkin was during my time at Bronycon 2015 where i meet Midnameowfries in person and purchased her print Most Evil.

For judge picked, we have this awesome mane 6 collage from Midnight Rush. If drawing the mane 6 altogether is a pain, I can only imagine how hard it is to carve the mane 6.
