Title: ANN - 2025 Bitcointalk Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest
Post by: ChiBitCTy on September 28, 2025, 08:50:13 PM
Welcome to the 2025 Btalk Pumpkin Carving Contest. I started this contest back in 2022 ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5416347.0 ), it far surpassed my expectations. From Theymos, mods, newbies to Legendary members who I’ve know for many years, everyone got involved in one way or another and was just such a blast.

I picked up a few babies at the store today and you might notice a very American wooden pumpkin in the back,
Saw that today too and it was an easy call to purchase, my fav things about fall are those two pumpkins and football (American football).

I will be doing some traveling over the next month so getting out ahead of this a little in prep. Also because it’s Sunday , that means NFL all day so a quick ANN

Opens Oct 1st

To follow : exact rules , and prizes. I will be using the same rules as my last contests. Prizes will be provided by myself alone. I want this to just be all about the btalk community (Oct 1 being my 9 year Ann 🤯) . The winner prizes will be good ones, I promise :)

Stay tuned

Last years contest for reference : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5512198.0

From Theymos, mods, newbies to Legendary members who I’ve know for many years, everyone got involved in one way or another and was just such a blast.
Last time I missed the event simply because I couldn't get a pumpkin to use. Those regular pumpkins are quite rare in my locality. I don't know if you probably remember I think I created a thread about if using water melon was possible. Anyways to my suprise a couple months ago (shortly after last year's Halloween) when I visited the supermarket at the veggie section I found some giant pumpkins was really happy but disappointed it was already late to participate.

Anyways this year I hope I'm able to get them at that same supermarket. Hopefully it's gonna be my first pumpkin entry on the forum.

The title says it all, "Bitcointalk Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest". So water melon is definitely out of the question :P. And even if it werent, how are you planning to use it? Because, Imo, it's too soft and fragile and can't really be used for carving...

As for what you said about pumpkins, that's true here too. Where I'm from, I don't really see any large good looking round circular shaped pumpkins. The ones from the OP looks too perfect. Even if I did find one, I might have to go to the town and look through supermarkets to get one (if I'm lucky).

Lastly, did you get any answers? Was watermelon allowed that time?

Only pumpkins are used for carving during Halloween which I think is related to this contest. Some countries may have green pumpkins which can be asked about to be used for the contest or not.

I'll start thinking about another antihero figure for my carving this time, even though Venom never disappoints me on the voting results. Maybe Dr. Doom or Hulk if I get a pumpkin with a slightly greenish flesh. Hopefully, my wife won't forget where she put my carving tools (she cleared my desk that was the last time), or I'll have to skip this year's contest. We'll see. Hahhaaa..

A pretty idea

Res!

Due to many people not living somewhere where pumpkins are available, I’ve decided to create a second contest where the rules are to simply to create something Halloween/pumpkin bitcoin themed. This can be a 3D printed piece, a painting, digit art, NFT, painted pumpkin etc. Be creative! BUT, no AI generated stuff.

Does this still apply?? My location might be extremely difficult to locate this pumpkin, even though I might have to scan through many stores with limited uncertainty.

I think time is flying, and we're at the tail end of Bitcoin's 4-year cycle, which should make for a very exciting Bitcoin Pumpkin contest.

I wouldn't miss it ChiBitCTy.

You can easily browse all the pumpkin varieties users had last year. I clearly remember there were green ones too. In my country, pumpkin sales are in full swing right now, and there's a variety to suit every taste. However, carving them is quite challenging; it requires not only skill but also considerable strength.
I'm looking forward to seeing our men's creations, and the forum will definitely see a surge in new accounts, which tend to either emerge or be created at this time of year and during the contest. :D

One variety of Nigerian pumpkin, if i don't get the round shaped ones, then this will have to work for the contest.

I cannot remember when i saw pumpkins, perhaps cause of the location. It's really hard to find one, no end date for the contest starting Oct 1st, this will help most persons schedule time and make arrangement for the contest.

OP should have made little time to include rules for the contest.

This will be interesting, lot of members have already been waiting for something like this and making the announcement today seems a milestone acheivement though, but I must confess, getting the desired pumpkin could be rare as in some localized regions where it's not predominantly found, but it's so much interesting that a rigor search a d little cost could get one the desired pumpkin needed, can't wait to see the prizes and when this is fully launched.

A milestone achievement because he made an announcement? From what the op said, he had to make the announcement now cause he's got stuff doing next month so it's best to bring it closer.
 I've not being an avid follower of this contest but the few I've seen have been spectacular, often showcasing how much talent there is in this place.

I almost thought that this pumpkin carving contest will not hold this year after i discovered that one of the events that took place last year namely, the pie baking contest didn't hold this year, but it is good to know that this one will hold. I could remember the beautiful pictures i saw in last years' contest and hoping to see more improvements from participants this year. From my geographical location it is difficult to get a pumpkin but maybe i might luckily see one in the fruit garden at my State, i hope to see one so that i can also partake in the contest. Thanks to you @ChiBitCTy as we wait for the official kick-off of the contest come October 1st which is actually the Independence Day in my country.

OP should have made little time to include rules for the contest.
I guess you missed this, same rules as previous contest.

To follow : exact rules , and prizes. I will be using the same rules as my last contests.

BTCHappy Bitcoin Halloween 2025 🎃BTC
Thank you ChiBitCTy for bringing us this exciting competition once again, the 2025 Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest.

The 2024 Pumpkin Carving Contest was sponsored by BC Games and was managed by (icopress)
Last year, 10 contestants won the Bitcoin pumpkin carving contest. And there we were able to see each user's handmade Bitcoin pumpkin carvings which were really interesting and each person's great design. We will see the Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest again in 2025. It will be very interesting to see the great designs created by each contestant.

Please allow me to introduce you the winners for 🎃 Bitcointalk Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest 2024🎃 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5512198)!

I was more than glad to see that the pumpkin carving contest was reiterated in 2024 and I was amazed by the excitement it offered to forum users! The number of participants hit a record -- there were no less than 112 submissions and 181 votes :) And the number of prizes hit a record as well, because there are 10 (main) winners instead of 8, because BC.GAME decided to add two extra prizes, for the ninth and tenth places as well!

I am congratulating ChiBitCTy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=904524) for organizing the second edition of the pumpkin carving contest and I truly hope that he will keep doing this contest year after year! icopress (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1137579) did an amazing job and managed to find the sponsor of the contest, so his help was extremely valuable. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who took part in the voting, as well as to everyone who gave a hand of help for this contest. And once more, PowerGlove (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3486361) offered his support and helped me counting the votes! Having two pair of eyes is always better so I thank you very much, PowerGlove, for this hand of help! You are such a valuable member of this community!

Congratulations to all winners!!

Many thanks to the sponsor of the contest - BC.GAME (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2503677).

As long as is a pumpkin i believe you are good to go, since ChiBitCTy did not specify any color of pumpkin you have no issues you can use that, in my country we only have green pumpkin too and i have not seen any other color of pumpkin however there may be some other color in some part of my country but I have not seen it, in my region we have only green pumpkin, if I will join this contest I will use the green pumpkin that is located in my region.
I don't even know between the green pumpkin and the other pumpkin which is the best when it comes to taste any one who has tasted both should tell us which is best  ;D.

I haven't started looking for pumpkins in the area where I work yet. But I'm sure I'll find one. (Maybe.)

However, I'm determined to enter this contest this year. I don't want to miss out on the fun of the season.

I'm not sure if my hands will be skilled enough. Maybe if I carve every day I'll get good at it. But doing it once a year really means having to learn from scratch.  ;D

I'm a bit confused, is this going to be the contest thread, or is it just a pre-launch thread?
I say this because in other years the topic was set up differently...

Well, maybe you haven't had time to do it yet, and didn't want to miss the date.


Either way, congratulations on the initiative, and may it be as successful or even greater than in previous years.  ;)

Either way, congratulations on the initiative, and may it be as successful or even greater than in previous years.  ;)

Post away. This is the official thread for the contest.  This is the same format I’ve used in the past, give or take a few differences. Thanks

Actually it's my first time participating in a pumpkin contest and I sincerely want to thank the OP for this contest. And it's also a good one because from what I've read, I have learnt that the pumpkin contest is more like an annual activity.

Perhaps I have already suggested this during discussions at previous Bitcointalk Annual Pumpkin Carving Contests, but even if so, I will repeat it again. :)

If this contest has become a regular feature on this forum, why not give the winner a pumpkin icon as a prize? What would the forum admins say about that?  Technically, it wouldn't be that difficult. At the very least, a temporary badge could be awarded until next year, after which the badge would be awarded to the new winner of the last competition.

Something like this.

And this is a slightly modified BTC-logo in keeping with the theme of this competition.

One variety of Nigerian pumpkin, if i don't get the round shaped ones, then this will have to work for the contest.

I cannot remember when i saw pumpkins, perhaps cause of the location. It's really hard to find one, no end date for the contest starting Oct 1st, this will help most persons schedule time and make arrangement for the contest.

OP should have made little time to include rules for the contest.
I don’t think this is the pumpkin they are talking about but you could go to market to get the exact pumpkin, however reading to the end of the op you would see that October 31st is the ending date of the carving contest.

You can easily browse all the pumpkin varieties users had last year. I clearly remember there were green ones too. In my country, pumpkin sales are in full swing right now, and there's a variety to suit every taste. However, carving them is quite challenging; it requires not only skill but also considerable strength.

That picture isn't really a photo of a pumpkin, or should I say it is not a pumpkin or.  I definitely understand why you thought it's a pumpkin because the majority of Nigerians believe that to be a pumpkin or a variety of pumpkin. Click this source to know the original name of what you have there in the photo.

But below are the pictures of pumpkins that can be used for the contest. I have also checked the previous pumpkin contest and I didn't find any entry with what you posted.

Bitcoin pumpkin carving contest 2025

It turns out that carving a pumpkin is really difficult. I also almost gave up when carving this pumpkin. Because my shoulders felt sore and my head was also dizzy when carving this pumpkin. But I did not give up, and finally I managed to carve this pumpkin, although the results were not 100% in accordance with my expectations. But somehow I am still satisfied with the final result.

So please enjoy my work :D

2025 Bitcointalk Pumpkin carbing contest

Although carving a pumpkin may seem simple, it is not an easy task because it requires a lot of concentration, even when I carved it, I had to pay a lot of attention and put all other thoughts aside.

Anyway here is my entry.

Happy Halloween 🎃

I might as well take this initiative in this round, just looked up on previous contest from the link in the OP and with the initiative of aliveNFT (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5512198.msg64638669#msg64638669) while taking out the pictures on the list (FWP) and the concept of the Pizza  presentation by Icopress (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5546534.msg65475708#msg65475708) where the contested works were introduced for voting without any name bias, I’ll like to give a helping hand to this seasons Pumpkin carving contest by combining both strategies and test my learnt from observation skills. Hope it helps and I’ll be borrowing some of your concepts @aliveNFT and @Icopress for sustainability.

Happy Annual pumpkin carving contest for the BitcoinTalk 2025 ! 🎃

I try to make the Bitcoin logo with knife and and spoon. Finally i can make that things.
The concept was: Bitcoin symbol rising like the sun over mountains.
But my noob skills can't make it realistic.

        Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest 2025

It good to see the pumpkin contest, I really don’t have that time to craft out what I really wanted but it feels very good to at least participate in this contest. I try to craft out an Halloween pumpkin scary face with a bitcoin logo on it and also using chili pepper as the tongue. I hope we get to see contest like this in the forum. Don’t know what contest will be coming next but I will always try to participate when I can. It the first time of me participating In the pumpkin contest and I will try to keep that up every year. Happy Halloween.

Now I know Carving a pumpkin takes time and effort. I underestimated it before. I started in the evening and finished by now (night). Although the result wasn't quite what I had envisioned, I was proud cause I can finished.  8)
