Contest entries are being accepted now so send them in! Entries will be up on the site starting October 1, 2008

Participation is open to all artists, young and old. Junk your pumpkin any way you want. The process is easy! Find a pumpkin (any size), gather some junk (found objects) and start junkin'! It can have a theme, be a character or just a piece of abstract art. Your choice*. But nothing too gruesome, gory. Think "merry not scary." Here's an example and here are last year's entries.

*We retain the right to censor our content so no nudity, vulgarity, language, etc. (anything that you wouldn't want your child exposed to) will not be allowed.

After October 31st, the pumpkins will be judged, and choose one grand prize winner and one runner-ups for each age group. Winners will be announced November 1, 2008.

Prizes:
