The Coffee Ninja’s Second Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest!

I know it’s a little late, but here it is:

The Coffee Ninja’s Second Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest!!!

Ahh, Halloween. It’s my favorite time of year. Fall setting in (at least here in Texas), all of the fun decorations, hours upon hours of trying to decide what to dress up as for all of the festivities, candy, Pumpkin Spice Lattes… oh, and Pumpkin art!

Last year’s contest was slightly a bust, but still quite fun!

The Rules are pretty simple:

1.) Pick your pumpkin – Any size, shape, color, or even material (yes, it doesn’t have to be a real pumpkin if you get grossed out by the seedy guts). Computer generated graphics will not be accepted.
2.) Get to carving! Creativity counts in this contest, so really express yourself!
3.) Please incorporate your name, twitter handle, website, etc. or take a picture of you with your pumpkin. I only ask this because it’s far too easy to find pictures of carved pumpkins online, and nobody likes a cheater anyway.
4.) Submit all entries by Sunday, October 30th by 9pm CST to be considered for the contest. All entries will be incorporated into a article on My Blog posted on Monday, October 31st. Be sure to include your name and valid contact info in your submission so I can notify you if you won.

You can email your submissions to contests@thecoffeeninja.com

The top three winners will each win a Starbucks gift card.
1st Place – $20
2nd Place – $10
3rd Place – $5

Invite your friends to join in! The more the merrier, but only if you play well with others. :)

Remember, we’re looking for creativity and staying within the guidelines. Feel free to email if you have any questions!
Let the carving begin! :D

  • I hope you gets lots of entries. What a great idea! Does it have to be carved? Can we draw on it?

    • Yes Melody, you can in fact draw on it, as long as it follows the rest of the guidlines! I know people can get freaked out by the insides of a pumpkin, or want it to last longer! Thanks for the comment, dear!
