🎃 [ANN] Bitcointalk Bitcoin Pumpkin Carving Contest 🎃

[ChiBitCTy]

Welcome to the second annual Bitcointalk Pumpkin Carving Contest! This event is a great opportunity to be part of a new tradition where Bitcoiners spend time with their loved ones and show off their hidden talents! Btw ...roasted pumpkin seeds are very healthy and tasty, so take note. 🎃

       What about prizes?

This year's sponsor were BC.Game (If anyone would like to donate collectibles, please contact ChiBitCTy or Icopress). Please note that the Pumpkin Carving Contest 2024 is not an official event, but a community initiative. There will be 8 winners, 3 of whom will share the prize pool of $1500 in BTC, and those who take 4-8 places will receive bonuses from BC. The prizes are just a formality! We hope you enjoy this mini BTC party. 🎃

	🥈 2/3rd place		🥇 1st place		🥉 4/8th place
	Prize of $250		Prize of $1000		Prize of $50

      How it works?

From the moment the thread is published until Nov 1st - ie Halloween is the final day of submission , you will have the opportunity to post photos of your Bitcoin pumpkin (read the rules below). After that date, a voting thread will be launched where we will work together to determine the winners (the voting will also last about two weeks).

• Post at least 2 photos: [1] Photo of a pumpkin [2] Photo of a pumpkin + username and date ➥ Note
• The pumpkin must be a bitcoin pumpkin (Bitcointalk style is allowed).
• Only real pumpkins qualify / Only one pumpkin per user ➥ Note.

A few life hacks ... A hand mixer will make it much easier to get the insides of the pumpkin. Cutting a main hole in the bottom of the pumpkin will make it easier to light the candle inside (you won't regret sprinkling the inside of the pumpkin with cinnamon). Btw, It is better to use a red marker for the outline.

Discussion allowed!

Hey all, been tied up last few days so will be reviewing all posts shortly.

But I wanted to announce a few things.. I want everyone to know this is all for fun and the love of btc with me. I am making absolutely nothing doing this contest (just fyi). We had a sponsorship interest from a reputable online btc casino so figured, hey why not..some great prize money BTCBTC

UPDATE:  winner will also get a non-funded CryptoImperator 1/2 oz fine silver bitcoin pumpkin coin..🪙 🎃 (how fitting!).




(Just realized I made a pumpkin corn penis 🤷‍♂️ )

Proceeds of the peeled .01 as well as others will go towards my charity auction this year. Three main things since so much has hit home w me this year in an unfortunate way.  First some funds will go to disaster relief in Tampa Bay (where I spent 6/7 years living). I lived down the street from Tropicana where the Rays play and where the BTC Bowl was held    I didn’t go , I think I just found out about btc 🥹..really want a tix stub for the game !! Anyways anyone who knows me well knows I’m an animal advocate activist..so the relief will be for dogs and cats mainly whom are displaced (the 3 kitties 🐈‍⬛ below are the ones I cared for when I lived there and the other two are ferals I care for now. Cats ALSO go quite well with the Halloween themed event here!  







Breast cancer and schizophrenia are two illnesses that are very close to home for me and my family and will use the other proceeds for those research causes.

Would love to see everyone participate in both!! Cheers !!

Edit x 100 or so lol- Another way to win- anyone who collects at least 10 pumpkins in their local area and make food out of them, that’s delivered to a local food pantry for the poor/homeless will get a physical btc of some kind. Might be an all copper coin like my first coin was, up to Casascius DIY aluminum coins and any huge food deliveries I’ll do something really special for them. @theymos made a great point last time and said he hated seeing all the wasted pumpkin food..well. Let’s not waste any if we can !!! (I will need proof of this, of course. DM on how to provide it)

Friends! We are looking forward to seeing your Bitcoin pumpkins!

BC.Game is also looking forward to seeing your work and has prepared this wonderful custom pumpkin for you in advance! 🎃

[aliveNFT]

I can't remember how many years ago I last ate a pumpkin... Moreover, I have never tried to make something out of it in terms of cutting.
Naturally, I will participate, it will be interesting and at least this idea will give me the opportunity to have an fun time with someone close to me.
Good luck and kindness to all! I hope to see unrealistically beautiful pumpkins.

Venom is my most favorite character, he is evil if Topher Grace is the host, he is good if Tom Hardy is the host.
But whoever the host is (good or evil), they will try hard to keep it a secret that they're part of Venom. So who is your favorite Venom host?

Great job, but for some reason I laughed a lot when I saw that you signed the work next to the unprocessed pumpkin and dropped the processed one at the bottom without a signature. I think it was necessary to apply the reverse logic.

About one more entry..

• Only real pumpkins qualify / Only one pumpkin per user ➥ Note.

It's difficult for me to create better horror art than this on the first attempt. Anyway, let me know how it turned out, everyone.

After seeing your quote I am smiling to myself , and I am writing with a smile on my face . I really should have enhanced the beauty through some process here. My biggest problem is that I am not very good at manual work and I have very little patience for these tasks . I am not good at small difficult tasks. Participating in this competition and teaching handiwork was my value objective.

Take love dear!

aliveNFT is correct here. A signed sheet should be next to the FINISHED product, or unfortunately it will not count. So just make sure you do so, no big deal. You’ve got a great entry here.
