🎃 [ANN] Bitcointalk Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest 🎃

[ChiBitCTy]

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 🤣

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

Pumpkin Pie is my favorite desert. I eat at least two whole pies each Thanksgiving (over the course of about 2-3 days lol). Love roasting the seeds as well. Definitely will be doing that this year.


-UPDATE-

There will be a separate category for those simply looking to create a Bitcoin pumpkin that’s not an actual pumpkin. This can include a 3D molded bitcoin , a digital / NFT btc pumkin, a painted pumkin etc.

Prize: Lealana donated coin ..official post/update to the OP and photo of prize to come in the next day or two (thanks to Lealana for donating the coin for the contest)

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).

I suggest that you require the image to include the user's name and the date written on a piece of paper in order to prevent plagarism.

Great call, I will absolutely require this. Thanks for the suggestion.

If you read two posts above, I mention there’s now a separate contest for those without access to actual pumpkins /gourds. I want anyone anywhere in the world to be able to participate so decided to do this as long as your country allows for shipping from the US (if you want to be eligible to receive prizes, that is. I’m pretty sure if you’re in a country that doesn’t allow shipping from the US you are well aware of that.. Again, you can still participate regardless, just won’t be eligible to win the prizes. I suppose exceptions can be made if you are able to have the items shipped somewhere that does allow US packages).

Same here, even if you can ship two or four pumpkins which you can, the shipping fee will piss you off, everything is huge money in Nigeria now, you will have to pay 2x more money for every thing, even the little things. Follow @ChiBitCTy advice.

Can't find any pumpkins but thought this would be funny.

Trust the process

[ChiBitCTy]

—Update—

There is now a second contest for those who’d rather not carve a pumpkin or have access to them where you’re from in the world. The rules are pretty simple, create something bitcoin Halloween/pumpkin related to qualify. This can be a painting, digital art, 3D molded item, painted pumpkin, NFT etc ..be creative!

Prizes listed above in OP.

Note a new rule: All entires must contain a photo of your item with a piece of paper stating your username and date (this is to avoid any potential cheating).


It doesn’t seem like there’s that many contestants, so jump in, your odds of winning are pretty good right now simply by a lack of entires!

So, I will be on vacation during Halloween season.

In any case, here are two pieces I made with AI and PS:




These are available as high-res prints. If there is a lot of interest or if I just feel like it, I will get the above motives printed as a limited run and these will be the postcards that can be won instead.



For now my contribution to the contest prizes are these two postcards (one each):

This is contest is very interesting and one I would have love to participate in, but unfortunately for me, I do not know where to get pumpkin here in Nigeria, and I also leant from my brother from another mother (@igehhh) that this is currently not the season pumpkin grows in this part of the world.

Anyways, I wish everyone participating goodluck, if there will be provisions for those that don't have access to pumpkin at this time, then I would definitely join the contest.
Looking forward to more update.

[henkcryptotank]

Do you have any other carveable vegetable?

[electronicash]

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 😂😂😂😂.

they could just buy from the Halloween store if something like this could be accepted. i got one.

Not the best season for pumpkins, but you can get one if you go to any fruit market in your state. If you live near the Niger Delta, you can get it from Port Harcourt, Calabar, and Delta (not sure about other states), but if you have someone in PHC, they can easily get it for you for around $3- $5 depending on the size. I paid $4 for mine. Lol.

You can get it from the location above. Also there are many agro-online stores selling pumpkins in Lagos.
