TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
[500]
[/500]
It's that time of year again and to celebrate TXI will be having a Star Wars pumpkin carving contest
The winner will not be chosen until after the 31st so that everyone has plenty of time to participate if they want to .
Since pumpkins are not plentiful everywhere in the world , we will also accept entries made with watermelons , cantaloupes , honeydews or any other damn melon you can get your hands on - now even those of you who live in pumpkin deprived countries can participate
I would also like to recommend "Funkins" (or any other brand of fake pumpkin) to those who enter . The fake foam pumpkins are easy to carve and will last you a lifetime . I like them because I can use them year after year and it helps make the effort that goes into carving a pumpkin more worthwhile
The Rules :
#1) Your "Pumpkin" must be Star Wars related and have at least a small "TXI" carved , painted or drawn on it somewhere . Please be sure that the "TXI" is visible in at least one of the photos that you post
#2) Your entry can be carved , painted or decorated in whatever way you see fit . Be creative in whatever form you like - as long as it is a Pumpkin (or Melon) and its Star Wars related we don't care how you present it
#3) You may enter as many different Pumpkins/Melons as you like
#4) Entries will be accepted from today through the 31st of October .
There will be 3 categories this year :
1) Traditional Style Carving
2) Sculpted Style Carving
3)Funniest Carving
A vintage Star Wars prize will be awarded to the winner of each category
3 TXI team members will be the doing the judging - and those that do the judging will not be entering pumpkins in the contest
All Right ... what are you waiting for ? Get your knives out and start sharpening , make your blueprints and get to work![indy](/users/3513/12/48/66/smiles/3912342355.gif)

Re: TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
I forgot to say that the Gamorrean Guard pumpkin at the top of this thread was carved by Commander Clint
It won best "sculpted pumpkin" at a contest I hosted at TIG a couple years ago
Here is a example of what I consider a "Traditionally Carved" pumpkin ...

and a "Sculpted" pumpkin ...
[400]
[/400]
this one would fall into either the sculpted or funny categories ...

I have a couple of smaller pumpkins sitting on the porch, but I'm struggling to figure out what to do this year.

Re: TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
Clint just noticed that you carved the Gamorrean Pumpkinhead. Wow dude.....
Re: TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
Thanks Christian.
That one actually took 2 pumpkins to create. I'm struggling to come up with something this year, that will be as good.

Re: TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
I've never carved a pumpkin in my life so I thought I'd keep it simple

Well done Andy.
It's the first entry.
If you still have all your fingers, you're doing it right.
