MuggleNet’s October “Potter” Pumpkin Carving Competition

by Keith Hawk · October 1, 2011

Get out your pumpkin carving tools and find yourself a great pumpkin to carve! It’s our MuggleNet ‘Harry Potter’ Themed Pumpkin Carving Contest for October.

How to enter: Put your creative thinking hats on (they look like a witches hats to muggles) and print out a Harry Potter themed image that you would like to carve into a pumpkin, or do it free-handed if you are talented enough. Next, go select your pumpkin at the local muggle shops or pumpkin fields, then carve out your image.

Take a clear close-up photo of the pumpkin and email it to us at this address: mnpumpkincontest@gmail.com by midnight on Sunday, October 23!

We will then place all of the pumpkin carvings into our gallery and you will be able to vote on them until midnight Sunday, October 30. We will announce the winner on Halloween based on highest ranking and number of votes received.

What does the winner get? Their own personal copy of Harry Potter Page to Screen: The Complete Filmmaking Journey published by Harper Collins.

You may enter as many times as you like, but there will be only one winner. Good Luck!
