VOTING HAS STARTED

You can now vote for this week’s challenge!

  • OP will cast deciding vote in case of tie
  • Voting will end when OP declares a winner.

Patriotic Pumpkin Party

Prompt

A Halloween pumpkin with a horrified face that serves as a poutine bowl. Melting cheese curds are coming out of its mouth, there are French fries coming out of the hole on top. Brown gravy sauce is pouring out of its eyes, nose and makes a puddle of sauce.

Theme

It’s october and Halloween is coming soon. I know Halloween is not celebrated everywhere in the world, and that’s the reason I wanted to make this challenge.

The goal of the challenge is to have a carved Halloween pumkin that represents your country, state, province or city. As I live in Quebec, I made sure my Halloween pumpkin had something to do with Poutine, one meal that Quebec is known for. Please in your answer, post what country / territory / city your pumpkin represents. The carvings could show a flag, your national animal, or whatever you think represents where you live.

Voting process

This challenge will follow a slightly different format. Everyone can submit their image to this post. At the end of the week all images will be collected and shared in a new voting post wherein people can vote on their favorite image. This will be up for at least 24 hours before a winner is made.

There are no extra points to be earned, OP will decide on a winner in case of a tie.

I hope this format will give everyone the opportunity to take their time and have an equal chance at earning votes. It can be a one-off if this turns out to be too time consuming or impractical.

Rules

    Hmmm, to be honest I’m not sure. For this one it might have been the location, but I don’t think it has ever stopped people from posting whatever they feel comfortable with before though.

    Maybe the challenge is too specific? Like it pushes people into making a pumpkin and therefore limits the possibilities? Personally I like the challenges most when it’s a theme that feels a bit open ended. Like in this case maybe if you phrased it like “Halloween but in a different part of the world” it might give people more room to think of a unique angle for them to create their image?
