2020 is slowly coming to an end (much to my personal delight!) and what better way to celebrate than a bit of ol' pumpkin carving! This year I'm hoping for some terrifying designs that I can steal to scare folks away from my front door - social distancing is of course still very important and I just plain don't like sharing candy...
Your task is to carve a Spiral Knights themed pumpkin and enter it. The rules are the same as previous years, but please do re-read them as following them is important!
Deadline: October 31 11:59 PM Game Time
Entry Thread: https://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/123635
Prizes: We will have multiple winners, the number will be determined by number of entries. These winners will each be able to pick one prize from the following list:
- Ghostly Aura
- Baleful Aura
- Curious Mewkat (furniture)
- Zombie Bellhop (furniture)
- Gatecrasher Helm
The Rules:
- Obtain a real pumpkin. If pumpkins are not available where you live, you can try any type of gourd, squash, etc. If you aren't in the right area of the world for pumpkins, use a watermelon!
- Create a Spiral Knights design for your pumpkin. This can be anything relating to Spiral Knights--a monster, an NPC, your knight, ME!, or your favourite GM (also me, right??), etc.
- Carve the design onto your pumpkin.
- Create a card (or slip of paper) that includes your knight name and the year (2020).
- 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. You don't need to make an account--just upload them
- 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.
- Winning entries may be posted on social media. If you'd like to have us @ you in the post, please include your Twitter name in your entry.

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.

Hello,
I'm excited that you continue to worry about giving more content outside of SK, personally, maybe I would add more prizes and so there would be more winners, it is not necessary of course but hey they could vary a little, have to see this every year if appreciated But at least I and a lot of the community hope a little bit more of mmmm that * BOOM * that makes a full interest and thus reaches more community.
I would also believe that they could put it in their Steam announcements section, it may be a good way to resume that part of the game, it seems to me that the last announcement I saw there was in 2018. As it seems that the active community resides in steam that less than couple you with a nice pumpkin event.
Ammmm on the other hand thank you and good luck to all the Participants, I will try to do my best to contribute more with Spiral.Bye GH <3
