It’s time for the annual Spiral Knights Pumpkin Carving Contest! Carve a Spiral Knights themed pumpkin and enter it per the instructions below.
Deadline: Wednesday, October 29 11:59 PM Game Time
Winners will be posted on Halloween and featured in Fan Art Friday on Facebook and Twitter!
Entry Thread: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/105007
Prizes: We’ll pick three (3) winners. These winners will each be able to pick one prize from the following list:
- Ghostly Aura
- Shadow cat tail
- Monster Pockets
- Anti-Personnel Spikes
- Jack o' Bombhead Mask
- Gatecrasher Helm
Other prizes may be added depending on participation.
The Rules:
- Obtain a real pumpkin. If pumpkins are not available where you live, you can try any type of gourd, squash, etc.
- Create a Spiral Knights design for your pumpkin. This can be anything Spiral Knights--a monster, an NPC, your knight, etc.
- Carve the design onto your pumpkin.
- Create a card (or slip of paper) that includes your knight name and the year (2014).
- Take at least two "creation" pictures while you are carving your pumpkin, to prove it's your own work. Include a card with your knight's name and the year in EACH photo (no photoshopping).
- Take at least one lit and one unlit photo of your pumpkin, again including your knight's name on a card to show it's your own handiwork.
- Host your images on Imgur.
- Submit your entry with a minimum of four photos per entry (two creation, one lit, and one unlit) in the entry thread in the Treasure Vault along with your knight's name and your prize preference.
- Double check your entry to make sure you have four working links to each entry, and that it follows the template below.
You don't need to make an account--just upload them

Judging Criteria:
Judging will be based upon the creativity and cleverness of design, the quality and detail of carving, and the overall effect of the lit pumpkin. Remember, the LIT pumpkin is the photo being used for judging. Take care with regard to shadows, flash, focus, and detail.
Extra Stuff:
You can enter more than once, but only one entry per person can be awarded a prize.

Seems interesting, I might try this. One question though, what do you mean by "Creation" pictures? Do you mean pictures of it in stages of it's making? Any specific stages you're looking for?

So why not for the prizes just say one of whatever existing item (within reason- no, you cannot have a banstick) they want? I mean, it already only makes sense to get the gatecrasher helm and then sell it, as you could plausibly buy any of the other items with the money you get. Might as well just spawn what the winners what they actually want. Like a nice mixer, gun puppy drakon, prismatic topper, darkfang, prismatic pylons, black kat raiment.... you guys are THE Three Rings, you can spawn whatever cool stuff people want as prizes.
And think of the marketing, if you spawned them something particularly crazy. Wow, THAT is a company that knows how to do contest rewards.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!
Next year, can we have a mask-making contest?
Also, can I request a Black Kat sprite instead? I really want that, and it fits with the theme. (Not promising that I'll participate, anyway. I'm busy and I probably won't get time.)

Rather than craving faces into pumpkins, can I carve pumpkins into faces and take pictures of that?

If we work on the pumpkin with someone else, can we put both our names on it (Just for fun, not for the prizes)?

Answers here!
@Crazee-Pi-Forums - For the creation pictures, we're not looking for anything specific, just showing the carving in-progress. That way we know you really did the work!
@Semajc - Yes, but only one of you will win the prize, so be sure to specify who's entering the contest.

Variance of prizes value is funny. Monster Pockets or Bombhead mask doesn't stand a chance with Gatecrasher Helm.
