Happy Bitcoin Pumpkins celebration 🎉🥳🥳🥳

Judging from your Pumpkin Photos. I guess you are from India or Bangladesh?
I am from Bangladesh and familiar with this kind of Pumpkin. I am watching people posting pumpkin photos, and all of them are kind of orange color. I had the plan to curve one. But I don't think people will understand whether it's pumpkin or something else because of the color and size.

First of all I humbly request you all not to mind this small effort of mine . I was forced to work with white sweet pumpkins after much searching and not being able to procure sweet pumpkins.

Quoted for viewability - and I made the pics a little smaller than the defaulted upload size.

Maybe I should have turned them upside-down too, in order that we don't have to stand on our heads to read the symbol?

Dear honour, it's my first contribution.
But I will try to do better next time as you said.  I'm trying to find watermelon or sweet pumpkin if I find it will try to make it more interesting.

Interesting contest. Can I ask if all types of pumpkin are allowed to use on this. I believe the pumpkin here on our region isnt that the same with the pumpkin being used usually mostly for halloween display and party.

Love some of the entries but it seems only few are gonna join this due to pumpkin availability to some region and the task isnt easy too. As carving requires skills.

Sweet pumpkins are not commonly seen in our area but the sweet pumpkins that are available are usually of a different type. So the sweet pumpkins of our country will not match the picks given in the contest.

Nice work.
You clearly tried your best.
Also this made me realise how Bitcoin is important on the most diverse regions and people of the world.

Not like pumpkins, those serve only small portions of the world.

Thanks you very much.
I am trying my best to act like myself. Although we live in the Indian subcontinent, it is not covered by modern technology based living. So we are living life adapting ourselves with great struggle.

Happy Bitcoin Pumpkins celebration 🎉🥳🥳🥳

I am very impressed by your celebration. It would probably look weirder if you celebrated by carving it. However if you try again with engraving it seems to look better. Thank you very much for such a beautiful celebration. Happy Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest celebration 🥳🥳🎃🎃!

It's very interesting to participate in this contest, in my area there are pumpkins but the shape is certainly not the same as OP's pumpkins, so no problem I will try to find pumpkins in the traditional market tomorrow to celebrate them here and carve as much as possible.  

Will be Edited: Has been released




Have finished carving Pumpkin with your own hands, I hope you are happy with my carving.

Thanks to all those who’ve entered so far. Hoping to see some more entries, especially hoping to see more actual traditional pumpkins that are carved   The examples in the OP are the types of entries I had in mind from the start.

Sir, I will go out tomorrow in search of that nature pumpkin in the village. And will definitely try to celebrate by carving that pumpkin.
Sir, thank you very much for this idea.

Guys, no AI allowed. The first AI post I believe was altered which is different (and looks amazing), but AI is not your work. I was tying to be nice by adding the second contest but for those of you with complaints ..I owe you nothing, I have zero obligations. I was just trying to do something fun for the community. As you can seen in my OP, I carved a BTC pumpkin years back and always thought this would be fun.  

If you want to win, carve a pumpkin with bitcoin features. I believe for voting on the contest I will select 3-5 well established/well regarded forum members ( people like LoyceV , (who is “Sweden” so not sure they’ll be interested in it, but that’s just an example.

The results will be the results. Please no complaints. I’m giving stuff away for free, spending my time and efforts during a time where I’m insanely busy, so please understand this.   Life isn’t always fair, I didn’t have to include contest 2 but I wanted to get more people involved. Please read the rules and be mindful of my expectations.

Just quickly jumping in to clarify my pics were just for entertainment. Yes I did some alteration in PS. I didn't even realize there is a "non-physical" contest as well and these renders are not intended to be included in it.
Please add my postcards to the prize section when you find the time, ChiBi, make it three:

- the two I mentioned in my post, plus a special helloween card, yet to be printed.

Good luck and hf all!

Finally, with the advice of various sages, I presented my small effort before you. Although it did not go as expected, I wish you encouragement and enthusiasm . I hope you inspire me to do better things in the future.

🎃 Happy Halloween 2022 🎃

I'm so excited to be working again and entering the Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving contest.
This time it's not wood that I carved, but a pumpkin that is typical for Halloween and then I mix it with some carving strokes that will add to the impression more unique.

Using a pumpkin with a fairly large size with an easier and faster process using the wood carving tools that I have.

Sketching Pumpkin Face and Bitcoin Logo

The tool or carving knife I use to carve pumpkins.

Engrave according to the sketch made

Engrave the entire sketch and punch holes for the Bitcoin face and Logo on the pumpkin, making it look more realistic.

The final result with the addition of lights to bring the Pumpkin to life.

Take a photo with the new work "Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest 2022"
