Are you ready for pumpkin season? We are! This year, create your favourite literary character on a pumpkin! Think Harry Potter, Gandalf, Frankenstein's monster, Snow White, Garfield, or anyone else you love from books (or movies). You can decorate or carve your pumpkin (or both!) Get creative with paint, glitter, jewels, buttons, clothing, etc. Pumpkins will be judged for their overall WOW factor! Send us a photo of your decorated pumpkins between October 18th and November 1st.
Work together with your family or if you are 12+ you can submit a photo of your own creation if you wish. One prize will be awarded for the best pumpkin.
All contest participants are encouraged to observe the following safety tips:
- Do not permit a young child to carve a pumpkin. All children and teens should have adult supervision and/or assistance.
- Use a proper pumpkin carving kit and supply older children with age-appropriate carving tools.
- Work in a well-lit area. Keep hands and carving tools clean and dry.
- Carve away from yourself. Use small, controlled motions to cut in the direction that is away from your hands.
