Sigh, I'd enter but I'm 15 and my parents know jack-diddly about computer stuff. I'd be afraid where my submission ended up at.:silly:

That and I'm not overly good at carving pumpkins, Though I do plan to do a couple... rather... abstract pumpkins this year.

I'd say the coolest pumpkin I've seen in person would have to be my friend's dad's. A perfect replica, with every little dot and thing on it, of the star trek enterprise :grinyes:

Oh, and thanks Etreme Aquatic Foods! I might just teach my parents how to use the computer (what a nightmare that'd be :silly:) so I can enter.

None of my fish will prolly eat that cichlid chow, but I might do the contest just for the fun of carving a pumpkin. :)

I am not worried about the prize though since I am not an artistic person. i'll come in like... 12th place and be happy with it. :D

Can't wait to see all the other entries too!!

I would really like to be there to see what happens when you put a pumpkin on a lathe....I have a feeling you're going to see a pumpkin go flying and hit the wall :rofl:

Due to some confusion about the deadline, the contest submission period has been extended to 10/28/08. :) Get those pumpkins carved everyone and don't forget to put AC somewhere on the pumpkin to prove authenticity!

cheech
10-27-2008, 10:30 AM
Also, please check your emails.. there are a few that either entered more than one pumpkin, or others that forgot to add an AC somewhere, either by marker, or carved into the pumpkin, or a written sign next to it, or something.


It would be a shame if those pumpkins wouldn't be entered cause of that.

lastly, don't forget to let us know what your AC username is.

thanks!!
