Overview

The humble pumpkin spends months growing into a gourd worthy of your doorstep. Show your pumpkin the respect it deserves by making it beautiful, scary, or magnificent. We've got two grand prizes to give away - one for the best pumpkin themed food and one for the best pumpkin craft.

We want to see food made with pumpkins or in the shape of pumpkins, knit or crochet pumpkins, carved pumpkins, pumpkin decorations and more!

Submit your best pumpkin-based project to win a Cuisinart food processor or a Dremel tool kit!
