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

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
I'll get some more pics later including the all important night shot
I've wrote Tantive and my name on the side

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