- Carve the design onto your pumpkin.
- Create a card (or slip of paper) that includes your knight name and the year (2015).
- 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.

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.

They did this last year
I think it's because we might desire something personally. Someone might really want a shadow cat tail, but others may just need those hallow devious horns... Whereas a merchant would likely instantly grab the gatecrasher helm.
Prizes are kind of subjective anyways... If there was a crown reward it would be plain and simple, but with items that are more or less varied in how we'd sell them the price variations are to be expected.
'Cept gatecrasher. I think that's just on the list so we'll want to take it to make there be a larger market for the things since there's so few out there. Would be neat if we could get more things like that however, like a hallow/shadow node slime crusher.

Idea get!
Are we allowed to add small non-pumpkin details on to the main carving?
Following that, is it acceptable to make accessories for the main carving out of pumpkin bits?

You cannot
@Umbra-Lunatis
You cannot add anything to the pumpkin other than a light (candle or other illumination). If you would like, you can carve bits off the pumpkin and use them as decorative elements on your entry.

@Fangel
It becomes an objective thing when one of the prizes (Jack 'o Bombhead Mask) can be found on the auction house for 30K tops. Even if you value it at millions of crowns, it would still make far more sense for you to just win one of the other prizes and throw it on the auction house for a couple hundred thousand crowns, then buy your precious bombhead with whatever you get... and that's assuming you haven't already just played the game for a couple of hours and bought one.
Hallow or Shadow node slime crusher + wall as a set is what they should be giving out. The amount of punkin I'd be carving right now for a chance at that would probably be about five.

monster pockets
Are those Hoptimers just baby devilites looking for a caring guardian?
Or are they deceptive spies of the Underworld bent on tracking the Spiral Order's every movement?
Is Nonna in on this too?
How deep does it go?!

Plot twist:
Plot twist: Fighting-Polygon's vanaduke lit design was the template for the real vanaduke
Why are some of the prize choices worth considerably more than the others? I'm talking about the price difference between anti-personnel spikes, gatecrasher and jack 'o Bombhead mask.
