2012 Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest

2012 Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest

The Halloween season has finally arrived, and we’re ready to cut straight to the heart of the holiday. If you’re dying to pick up a knife and hack, gash, slash, and jab at something, then you might be excited to hear that as of October 11, Blizzard’s 2012 Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest has officially begun! Unleash your magical axes, psi blades, chitinous claws, and other creative cutlery to carve up Blizzard-themed jack-o’-lanterns of epic awesomeness. If you’re unclear as to what epic awesomeness looks like in the flesh, you can check out last year’s winners for some inspiration.

We’ll choose ten of the grandest Cucurbita to earn one (1) World of Warcraft Monopoly Collector’s Edition.

Don’t delay; start carving right away! The ninth annual pumpkin carving contest ends on October 29, so be sure to check out the contest page for rules and eligibility and get straight to slicing.

I was finally thinking about doing it this year...until I saw the prize. No thanks, definitely not worth the effort. Still looking forward to seeing the winning pumpkins though, good luck all.

@Ndokl, I agree with you, people work extremly hard on these works of art and wow want to give them a Monopoly game? It feels like whoever is in charge doesnt really care about the carving and is going through the motions and the prizes are probably something they found in storage and they need to get rid of them.

Good luck to the great carving talent out there I will be happy to see your stuff, but sorry wow wont give you any real prizes for your work.

I was so ready to win this contest this year, but compared to the previous contests the prize this year seems pretty pathetic. I mean I could go out and buy the game for, what, $35?

@Myrestus: Heavenly Golden Cloud Serpent is going to be the #1 pumpkin, I bet.
It's like this, but in yellow/orange.

It is my prediction that any Sha-related pumpkins will be off the chain.
That is all.
