@Mods - Bitcoin Pumpkin carving contest

[ChiBitCTy]

I posted this in collectibles since the prizes will be bitcoin collectibles  ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5416347.0 ) .  I'd like to get involvement of from anyone on this forum, and I know a lot of members don't ever venture over to the collectibles board.  Is there anywhere else I could post this so more people see it?  I think it would be fun for the community as a whole.

That might have been the best place for it but I don't know if it'd be appropriate to suggest games and rounds too.

Perhaps a better place to market it would be in the news banner or a factoid slot here (but that's up to the mods and admins).

Personally, I don't think it'd be a good idea to spread the contest into two different threads, so perhaps you can post an announcement on the "unofficial discord channel of Bitcointalk ^{[it has 500+ members]}".
We can also utilize our personal text area:

Code:

Thanks for the heads up, as I am one of those that don't usually visit collectibles board and would certainly missed the announcement. Since I have some previous experience with bitcoin-themed pumpkin carving and had much fun doing it, I might join the contest (here is the entry that I made a couple of years ago for that 10th anniversary art contest).

Anyway, kudos for the initiative.

I know this is not big as the Bitcoin Pizza Baking contest Or Unofficial Bitcointalk Awards. But, Since those contests were promoted in the News Section, I wouldn't mind if theymos or Cyrus considered adding this contest to the news section. The deadline is decent. Still, 22+ days remaining. You can send a DM to theymos or Cyrus regarding this. If they are not interested, I would say the games and Rounds section is compatible with this contest. I am also confused. LOL. I also saw contests on Games and Round, Service, and Meta board.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

That’s what I was kind of hoping, that maybe Theymos/Cyrus/Hilarious might be willing to stick it in the news section, at least for a day or two.  It’s certainly not as big as the pizza contest but I still think it’s fun and a cool way to bring the community together during Halloween time. It’s free and I’m giving away a few hundred dollars worth of collectible items. I think a good amount of people who don’t visit Mets or Collectibles would be interested, I just don’t know how to spread the message to the forum as a whole.

I don’t want to bug theymos/Cyrus/hilarious and any other mods w/a PM, so I’ll leave it up to them to see this thread and let them decide.

Nice work! 🎃
It would be nice to create some kind of forum competition once every year, in similar way like we have Bitcointalk Pizza event.
People could buy pumpkins and make unique Bitcoin designs, heck we could even attract some sponsors and give rewards for best design works.
Competition would attract less submissions without bitcoin rewards, but I still think this would be interesting to have.
Let's start the Bitcoin Pumpkin Day

Nice move to organized such entertaining contest. Let see some of the talented and skillful bitcoiners here. This will be a real fun in the forum. I will see who will be emerged as the winner of the contest. But since this has to do with a contest, it would have been better you move the thread to Service because when I came to the forum that is where I have been seen such threads. Like ROOBET also had such thread on ART CONTEST and users participated greatly, so if you go there people will still participate well, and most of the contestant threads are in SERVICE . Just a suggestion.

I saw you posted it on the Bitcointalk Discord server. Cyrus Saw your message and responded as well. As he is not promised to pin it anywhere, we are not sure if he is going to do that or not. But, It's worth getting highlighted in the news section for at least a week or so. Let's see if he considers it or not. In the meantime, I believe many people visit the Meta board and will see this thread. If they see the discussion, it is also helping you spread the announcement over the forum.

Thanks. That’s my hope, that we make this an annual thing!

I would rather it remain in collectibles because that’s where I mostly participate, prizes are collectibles, etc.  If I could post it in both sections I would.

I actually have one casino who’s already reached out to me about contributing to the prizes (currently vetting them before agreeing to it).  But that is a great idea.

Yeah Cyrus said he had a few ideas to help potentially spread the word. So we will see what they come up with!

I also posted this on r/bitcoin, hoping some Reddit users jump in. Plus I thought this might be a good way to get new members to sign up for a forum account.

If anyone wants to share this on Reddit /twitter/instagram/Facebook etc, I’d appreciate it!
