We received 25 great entries for our 2012 Pumpkin Carving Contest, and now it’s your turn to vote and decide the winner!
We can’t imagine only choosing one of these as your favorite, so you may vote for up to three. Entries range in fandoms from Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Breaking Bad, to holiday classics like Frankenweenie and A Nightmare Before Christmas.
Attached to each image you’ll see the creator’s name as well as the fandom their pumpkin represents. These same names appear in the poll so you can easily select your top three.
The voting period is open from now until Saturday, October 27 at 11:59 PM ET. The person who receives the most votes will receive a $25 Amazon gift card.
Vote away, and good luck to all participants!

Haha wow, when I submitted my pumpkin for this contest, I had no idea how stiff the competition would be! My pumpkin looks like a joke next to the other entries *facepalm* Oh well… If it helps, I didn’t use an online stencil or anything for mine :P Free-hand design (based on a pre-existing design, though :P)

I’m doing Seneca’s beard for my jack-o-lantern! So psyched. Too bad I couldn’t get it done in time for the contest.

I have to say, I thought these would be “decent”, and everyone of these pumpkins are amazing. Well done everyone that decided to enter, these are awesome.
Plat
Omg so many good ones! The Hunger Games one stood out the most though. :)
JCman7
Also did this Frankenstein one the year before. I must admit I do use stencils im just not talented enough to draw my own. Wish I was. Here’s a picture of the stages of my Boo pumpkin. It’s always fun. Still trying to decide what other one I should do
JCman7
