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.

You guys do contests mainly for people with artistic talent. You should come up with a contest that gives everyone a chance instead of just those who are already super awesome at stuff. ;)

@Arcanu: Screen shot of the Day is a pretty easy one.

@Arcanu: Contests of any kind are created to bring talent to light for the public view and attention. You could always learn how to do things like layered pumpkin carving, which is actually rather easy, or propose some other contest ideas rather than just complain that the contest doesn't pertain to your current talents. The Screen Shot of the Day is as easy as it gets, go do that one if you don't want to learn.
Try new things and practice, you may surprise yourself

@Raynya: ya they do tend to but the carving contest 2 years back was a big disappointment. Some of the winners didn't hold to the rules as carvings. They had things like Paper Mache all over to create the look rather than the carving creating the look. Others really were not impressive either. Made me and my buddys rather sad

Why is it that the majority of winners last year were for Starcraft? D:

@Kaynere: Probably a larger base was playing Starcraft at that time, and it is a Blizzard contest rather than just WoW. Also they generally have scarier monsters, as far as appearance goes. One of them was from Urbana, so I'm proud of that guy! That's where I'm from!
