Entry #27 by Brian W.
Update: The entry period has closed.
It's a shame the CDC shut down our plans for a giant bobbing for games contest. It was going to be epic. In its place, however, we launched a totally rad pumpkin carving contest. Not only do we get to enjoy the skilled craftwork of the Joystiq Biomass, we also get to keep the prizes nice and dry, and reduce the spread of waterborne illness bred in the saliva of icky gamers. That goes down as a win-win-win situation in our book.
Reminder: You have until 12:00PM ET Friday, October 30, (two days!) to submit images of your game-related pumpkin carvings to: contest@joystiq.com. Click here for the basic guidelines for entry. (Official rules.)
Have a look at the competition and keep the entries coming:

There is no way I could submit an entry better than #14.

People using the "shaving technique" ehh? more like the stupid retarded cheating technique! those who shave their pumpkins and poke 2 little holes for eyes should be disqualified imo.

I have to agree, Cutting through the entire pumpkin is way harder. Just glad I got mine submitted (#13) before it started shriveling like it has. Mario's gained some weight due to the stomach part of him shrinking up.

These are all great! Can't they just all split the prize?

Number 8 is great! I love the oranges for arms and legs.

Wow, great entries so far. I wouldn't want to be judging those pieces of art to get a winner.
incubeezer @ Oct 28th 2009 4:32PM
But you ARE choosing!
"At that time, the Joystiq staff will nominate and post 10 finalists. A public voting will decide a winner and runner-up."
