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!
Rules and Deadline
There’s really not much in terms of rules for this contest other than getting your photos in by midnight (central time) on October 3oth; Winners will be announced on Halloween Day!
To submit your entry, simply email us at least an 800px x 600px image of your carved pumpkin. 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, we can’t wait to see your entry!
