GREAT GEEKY PUMPKIN TEMPLATE CONTEST 2013

 

 

What time is it?

 

Great Geeky Pumpkin Template Contest time!

 

Prepare yourselves. Pumpkins are upon us. Get out your dremels, gourd knives, spoons, and fancy high-tech lasers–we must fight back against the pumpkins the only way we know how: carve & turn them into pies!

 

But who is the best carver of them all? Who will rise above the rest and submit the winning template for a $131 ThinkGeek gift certificate and the fabled Mystery Box?

 

Enter your pumpkin template between now and Friday, 10/25/2013; we’ll print our favorites for our own pumpkin carving party on Thursday, 10/31. That night, we’ll announce our $131 and Super Secret Mystery Box (which may include a few special things) grand prize winner and two $131 gift certificate runners-up–along with photos of pumpkin guts and our finished masterpieces!

 

We have our 2013 Winners!

 

The judges have made their final decision. The winning templates for 2013 are posted below, and if you see yours there, we’ll be in touch via email shortly, regarding your prize information. We’ll post up the rest of our 2013 favorites soon!

 

First, though, we’ve got to clean up this mess of pumpkin guts! Can’t let the Pumpkin Police find any evidence of what went down.

Enter your Great Geeky Pumpkin Template

 

A few handy guidelines to awesomeness:

 

Submit original artwork or a concept we haven’t seen before. Cutting and pasting clip art into a Word doc does not a winning template make.

 

Think about making your template big enough for an actual pumpkin. Filling a 8.5×11″ standard sheet of paper with your design is a pretty good rule of thumb.

 

Templates that include impossible to carve areas (like carving a big “O” shape and then expecting the middle to stay put) won’t work unless you don’t carve that space completely (or specify something tricky like a toothpick to hold it in place).

 

If you have more than one design to submit, you’ll need to use this form more than once.

 

We don’t care where you put your template on the internets as long as it’s accessible to us. We’re willing to work with most filetype, but PDFs are preferred with PNGs and JPGs a close second.
