Resources

There’s a great resource out there we like to visit this time of year called  zombiepumpkins.com  where you’ll find some cool patterns and carving tips. You can also download the ITS Tactical Pumpkin Carving Template from a while back if you’d like to carve that up.  Here’s the .PDF pattern to download!

It’s a fairly simple pattern that you can use to shave off the outer skin of the pumpkin, or impress us and find another way to carve the logo into a pumpkin! You definitely get bonus points if your pumpkin has our logo somewhere in it!

Don’t forget to check out all the great entries from last year too!

Rules and Deadline

There’s really not much in terms of rules for this contest other than getting your photos in before midnight (central time) on October 30th, we just want to see your photos! Winners will be announced on Halloween!

To submit your photos, use the image attachment feature of our  contact form  and send in those pumpkins! Please try not to send huge images, an 800px x 600px or something similar will work just fine. You can even take a photo with your camera phone and send that in!

By submitting a photo of your tactical pumpkin, you agree that the image is good to use here on ITS when we announce the winners and can be added to our  ITS Reader Photos Flickr Group.

Happy Haunting!
