Remember the contest is This Monday (10/24) so you should be carving or thinking about carving right now!
There are many new categories this year so we thought we would give out a few hints on the new ones. The judges will make their decision based on creativity, glow factor and how well it fits the category. You could follow the hints or take off on your own translation of the category name… some can be translated in different ways and the judges don’t always go for the obvious. Lots of detail is good but the simplest of ideas will work too. Be creative.
— Compost Zombie – Rotten but not forgotten.
— Mythic Monstrosity – Dragons, Cyclops, Greek Gods, Unsightly Unicorns… the list is endless.
— Frosty the Glow Man – Probably starts with 3…
— Evil Exoskeleton – Bugs, Bugs, Bugs, or something else…
— Freaky Facelift – Plastic surgery with a sense of humor or horror.
— Sports Illuminated – Any sport concept will probably do as long as it glows.
— Cackle & Squawk – Birds, Birds, Birds, or…
— Pablo Picassokin – Think Cubism.
— Candy Barf – Oh no, I think I had too… much… Can… dy…
— See poster below for the other 7
Also, please remember, if you are creating a scene or something hard to set up then it will be hard to take to the winners stand so think ahead and consider a board or base that can be carried up or home in one piece.
If you need more ideas please browse all the photos of past contests in our Pumpkin Carving Galleries and visit Not Your Average Jack for more photos from past contests.
Good Luck and see you Monday!
