2017 Pumpkin Carving Contest

Can you... SQUASH... the competition?!

… Ok, at this point maybe “Fall Food Decorating Contest” is more appropriate, but it just doesn’t have the same ring. BUT on to the contest! Do you have what it takes to carve the best AdventureQuest Worlds-themed pumpkin in all of Lore? How skilled are you in the fine arts of squash carnage? Are you able to duel-wield a camera and a carved ear of corn at the same time? If so, this contest is perfect for you!

Attention all ye who wish to enter…this contest: Mogloween is drawing ever near, so we need pumpkin-carving masters to take on this challenge!

Mogloween mog-luh-ween; noun

The evening of October 31 in Lore; celebrated in the month of October; observed especially by Heroes in costumes who solicit treats, candy, and Seasonal Rare items inside AdventureQuest Worlds

Contest Rules

To be considered, all entries must:

• Include your game character name and the year (2017) visually displayed somewhere within the picture or video

  • The game character name in the picture must be tied to an Artix account to receive a prize

• Must not use digitally altered art (so no photoshopping) - we want to see what you can do offline!

• Be themed on any Artix game, character, monster, etc

• Be posted to the AE_Contests Twitter account, AQW Facebook account

• The photo of your pumpkin must be of the highest quality—the bigger and more clear the picture, the better!

• One entry per person

You are welcome to think outside the box and submit other non-pumpkin creative entries for our consideration… but carved pumpkins and gourds are what we want to feature!  So you COULD...

• Paint a pumpkin

• Dress an ear of corn

• Carve a pumpkin pie

• Build a diorama featuring acorn squash

• … the possibilities are endless

Reminders

1. Please don’t spam your entry or you will be disqualified! You can only win once per person!

2. A true hero is a good sportsman -- we reserve the right to reward excellent examples of good sportsmanship or remove entries for abusive behavior towards staff or other contest participants.

3. As always, entries that WOW us and go above and beyond, displaying true effort or creativity, will get extra-special attention (or prizes)!

Good Luck!

On behalf of the entire AE team, we are really looking forward to seeing your creativity carved into pumpkins… or gourds… or apples (?!)! Will you win the Grand Prize? There is only one way to find out—submit your photo today!
