🎃 [ANN] Bitcointalk Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest 🎃

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Surprisingly I saw the ad of this topic on the news section. It's good to see the encouragement from theymos.

I was confused for few seconds to understand if this was photoshopped. The reflation of your picture (guessing it's you) confirmed that it's a raw picture may be lol. But anyway, perfect background, nice framing. I wonder if you are a pro photographer?


PS: Maybe I will bring up something later LOL

I always have a positive attitude towards any contest on the bitcointalk, and if by the end of Halloween I manage to grow a pumpkin , then I will definitely join this contest. I like what OP has planned and express my gratitude to him for this. It would be good if the organization of the competition will be held at the level of the pizza-day competition and the administration of this forum will join this. Or at least the most active users of the forum will help with this.

Will the winner of the Bitcointalk Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest be able to wear the 🎃 icon on their profile? At least for a while. That would be awesome the most.

My pumpkin is not yet grown for carving, so if the pumpkin painting category opens this year, we will compete in it. Otherwise we will try our chance next year when it became an adult

Interesting contest!
After a Bitcoin Pizza from Bitcoin Pizza Day, we are ready for Bitcoin Pumpkin now. 

Unfortunately, I don't have much time to contribute a Bitcoin Pumpkin here but i'll chip in some Merit for good submissions!
Looking forward to nice Bitcoin Pumpkins.

I don't think it's too small to carve! There's actually other people who are planning to create bitcoin pumpkin things, but not actual carved pumpkins and I said that I encourage you to do so and share here, but that it would be counted toward prizes.  I don't know that it makes sense to allow for entries that don't at least have 1 carved pumpkin.  Now I've encourage creativity and that being the only thing you must to do count towards being able to win the prize, but I do think it's best it is the one hard fast rule.  If it changes I'll let you know. Maybe as long as it includes at least a real pumpkin, that should be the qualifying deal (if anyone has opinions on this please do share, it's hard to decide all this stuff on your own lol).

I have a wedding, I'm likely moving, I'm out of town for work... all yet to come this month, c'mon now you can find time!    ( I kid of course, but if you do find time, glad to have ya).

Rules - The only rule is that your creation has to include some sort of pumpkin, gourd, squash or something of that ilk.  If you want to incorporate 3D printed stuff, NFT's, coins, whatever, all the better!  There will only be one entry per person (but this can include a bulk of items together (i.e. a 3 pumpkin set with a drawing next to it, for example).

Heya, is it necessary for the artwork to be physical like an actual pumpkin? Or are we allowed to create bitcoin pumpkin 3D sculpture using any 3D computer graphics software like Blender? Maybe it is a 3D artwork with little animation and effects incorporated in it. Thank you!!

I can not find a ripe pumpkin where i live and also my skills are not good enough to make something out of that. But i like to play with photoshop and still learning. This is not for the contest to win but just to be a part of it. Here's what i have made. Not very pretty or a masterpiece but i did what i could .
The teeth on the logo is to wish BTC to pump and rise up once again.

Lol so what's gonna happen to those who aren't from pumpkin countries? You can't find one of these in my country ever 😂😂😂😂.

To be eligible for the prizes, you must have an actual pumpkin/gourd. Otherwise it kind of defeats the purpose. As I’ve stated before and below, I think I’m going to create a separate contest/category where there’s a prize for those who don’t have an actual pumpkin. Stay tuned for more on that.

Very cool. I might do a sub category where there’s a separate contest for those who don’t have actual pumpkins but make something say with photo-shop or 3D printers etc.  Any participation is great!

This is funny? What a weird way to express yourself. Was the 4th laughing emoji necessary? I mean I understand 3, but 4?!  

First off read the whole thing, I stated if you don’t have a pumpkin then gourds of some sort will work as well.
If you don’t have anything like that then unfortunately you won’t be able to participate (though I do believe I’m going to start a second contest for those who don’t have access to pumpkins/gourds etc). This is just for fun, and I can’t make it perfect for everyone.  I didn’t have to even create this contest at all. This isn’t some government program. What an odd and unnecessary comment.

It's not pumpkin season down here, but this is what I could find after a 24-hour search. Are you ready for some terrifying shit?. Is gif allowed?

I will edit this post after carving.

[xSlyy]

I am in! I’ve been motivated from all these posts.
ChiBTC, you’re right, if you’re moving, wedding, etc. and YOU can find the time, I certainly will as well!
Good luck everybody. I’ll be carving mine this weekend.

Also, for those who can’t find pumpkins in their country, Amazon has a lot of pumpkin decor you could technically ‘carve’ if the material is soft enough. Only con is you won’t be able to roast the seeds. Might be worth a look. Even though I don’t condone buying anything on Amazon…

[buckrogers]

So, who’s going to start the international pumpkin shipping service?
Plenty over here 
lots of pumpkin "picking" farms:



Even some pretty ones:

There were many participants in the pizza concept contest throughout the forum. Although Halloween is not celebrated in our country, there will be users who will participate for entertainment purposes, it is really a fun content. I created the topic in the Local section, you can check it out here(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5416880.0). Good luck to the participants.

If I have time, I'll take a pumpkin and try to carve it, I've never done anything like this before, I don't know what I'll come up with. If I carve a pumpkin, I'll edit my post.

[fillippone]

Wow I like it!
Pumpkin carving is something I haven really done in my life. I might have carved a couple or so pumpkins.
I will partecipate in for the fun of it.
I won't be as competitive as in the pizza making contest, I am afraid.

But I have never done anything like this in my life and I have nothing to say about my competitive ability in carving pumpkins. It slows you down a little to get started (and you still need to find a suitable pumpkin), but it's probably worth a try, if only for the sake of fun and participation in the contest. The coolest thing, in my opinion, about all this is the activity of the BTC-community and the opportunity to join it. Such contests demonstrate that the bitcointalk community is alive and not bored at all.

I like my pumpkin in curry. Sweet and spicy. Unfortunately I have not seen a whole pumpkin for ages. All are half cut or quarter 🤣

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Bought a pumpkin today & hereby registering my interest in the competition

Kinda busy the next couple of days but will carve my pumpkin & submit a photo of the finished product soon. Need to get some inspiration though.

I bought the biggest pumpkin I could see in the supermarket, I hope to do it some justice

Pumpkin pies also rock... I even love roasting the seeds!

I am not a big fan of pumpkins, but you can have a very nice risotto with them, or in some Italian cities, even some very nice ravioli.
