2011 Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest

The Halloween season has finally arrived, and we’re ready to cut straight to the heart of the holiday. If you’re dying to pick up a knife and hack, gash, slash, and jab at something, then you might be excited to hear that as of October 11, Blizzard’s 2011 Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest has officially begun! Unleash your magical axes, psi blades, chitinous claws, and other creative cutlery to carve up Blizzard-themed jack-o’-lanterns of epic awesomeness. If you’re unclear as to what epic awesomeness looks like in the flesh, you can check out last year’s winners for some inspiration.

We’ll choose ten of the grandest Cucurbita to earn a delightful prize package consisting of:

• Marauder StarCraft II Gaming Keyboard
• Banshee StarCraft II Gaming Headset
• Spectre StarCraft II Gaming Mouse
• StarCraft II Zerg Edition Messenger Bag

Don’t delay, start carving right away! The ninth annual pumpkin carving contest ends on October 25, so be sure to check out the contest page for rules and eligibility and get straight to slicing.

@Failedatlife: The fanciest I get is by adding "spock" ears to my pumpkins from time to time. I'm not much of a carver myself, but I can appreciate the artistry that goes into these each year and always look forward to seeing what people come up with.

For those who say this isn't a WoW contest, you're right. This is the yearly Blizzard Pumpkin contest. Which means it covers all three franchises and has for a bit now so, good luck everyone! ;)
