THE 3rd ANNUAL TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
It's that time of year again and to celebrate TXI will be having another Star Wars pumpkin carving contest
![cheers](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_cheers.png)
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
![Razz](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_razz.gif)
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
![Cool](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_cool.gif)
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
![Wink](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_wink.gif)
#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
![What a Face](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/fresse.png)
#3) You may enter as many different Pumpkins/Melons as you like
![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png)
#4) Entries will be accepted from today through the 31st of October .
There will be 2 categories this year :
1) Traditional Style Carving
2) Sculpted Style Carving
Here are a few entries from previous years contests :

Re: THE 3rd ANNUAL TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
Well done Chris.
Did you use a stencil or draw it free hand?
I always draw my cut lines with a sharpie, prior to carving. Especially here, if you're carving closer to the 31st, because its so much cooler. Make sure to bring your pumpkin into the house for a couple of days, to warm up. Or the sharpie doesn't stick, because the pumpkin starts to sweat.![afro](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_rr.png)

Re: THE 3rd ANNUAL TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
The image is a stencil I downloaded and printed off. I then went over the print off with a soft pencil to create a transfer. I then flipped the image over and pressed the stencil against the pumpkin. Then I drew over the reverse side using a harder pencil to transfer the graphite image onto the pumpkin. It left a faint image on the pumpkin, which I then went over and tightened up free hand, using a Sharpie.

Re: THE 3rd ANNUAL TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
I've bought 2 pumpkins, and will be carving on Tuesday evening. I have a couple of ideas brewing.

Re: THE 3rd ANNUAL TXI STAR WARS PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
This was a bit of fun I had today, carving this pumpkin with my son. Not a 2nd entry, just thought I'd share it with you guys. He wanted to carve his favourite character, Luke Skywalker. But after I explained that it would be very difficult to carve it to look like Luke. He decided on a Clone Trooper instead

Well done Chris (poncho). The Rancor is a great choice.
Chris (chris.75) Your son did a fantastic job on the clone trooper.
