CHALLENGE!: To carve the most unique/awesome/creative jack o lantern the penny arcade forums has ever seen!
PRIZE
Just the knowledge that you are the Penny Arcade forum's official Pumpkin King/Queen for the year of 2011, no big deal.
DEADLINE

Where do I post?
here! post your pics of your pumpkin in this thread when you're all done. I'll go through the whole thing on the 28th and put all of the contestants in one giant thread... which will make voting easy peasy.
Okay so the rules are... be creative. Any and all submissions using pumpkins will be accepted!
Ideas...
- Create a pumpkin monster using multiple pumpkins
- Carve a virtual pumpkin
- Even create a lava spitting minecraft pumpkin!

There doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in it, though?
Here you go guys. Hopefully everyone is just holding off so their pumpkins are nice and fresh for the big day...
