What would Halloween be without letting loose your
creative juices? (Quite literally!) One of Halloween's
favorite pastimes is creating fun imagery in the flesh of
a vegetable — pumpkins to be precise. For this year's
Halloween spook-tacular, we want you to show off
your carving skills!




  • First, grab a pumpkin or any fruit or vegetable.
    Any size, any shape, any color will do. If you
    can't find a pumpkin, you may use whatever
    fruit or vegetable you'd like! Feel free to pick
    something that can be found in your local area.

  • Second, carve to your heart's desire. Create a
    frightening face, a spooky scene, an eerie
    emote, or a silly self-portrait! Make something
    scary, make something merry, or make
    something that's merrily scary. The design is
    completely up to you.

  • Third, take a photo of your work and upload it
    to our contest gallery. Share your bone-chilling
    design with everyone.
