Everyone Hail to the Pumpkin Song!

Summer’s gone and Winter is coming, the leaves are turning brown, there are conkers to be found, the nights are drawing in and the kids have recently gone back to school. All of this can only mean one thing…

Halloween is soon! As such, it’s about time we got a competition going. This year’s competition is gunna be a bit different to any we’ve had before so listen (or read) carefully for the instructions; because you’ll be carving pumpkins!

You will (probably) need the following:

• A pumpkin (which unfortunately will have to be bought, unless you grow pumpkins).
• A sharp cutting implement, like a knife (youngsters should have adult supervision for this — We’re not responsible if you slice yourself open).
• A light producing device, such as a candle, to sit inside your pumpkin.
• A camera to take a picture of your creation.
• And anything else you feel like adding.

Prizes:
Five winners will be picked from the entrants the weekend of the 31st and will be given the following:

• A permament and neurobound holoprojector; unique to this competition.
• 5 of each Undead Miner.
• 5 of each Bite tweak.
• 5 Pumpkin Shards.
• A collection of temporary holoprojectors and sound projectors.

Dates:

• Competition start: 30th September (12 noon server time).
• Entry deadline: 31st October (12 noon server time).
• Winner’s announcement: 31st October (or later that weekend).

Rules & Judging:

• Entries should be posted to the forum thread (link is at the bottom) before the end date.
• The submissions will be judged on execution, creative design and of course, bonus points for Star Sonata themes.
• Your pumpkin must be original work belonging to you; if found otherwise you may be disqualified.
• Your photographs of your submission must have a sign with the account name (or main character) you are using to post as part of the photograph.

When you submit your entry, make sure you have good picture(s) of it. You can take multiple pictures of your submission; if your pumpkin is to be lit inside, pictures of it lit in the dark and a picture of it unlit in the light would probably be a good idea.
