Back for it’s fourth year, the annual ITS Pumpkin Carving Contest is all about getting into the Halloween spirit and carving up some awesome pumpkins!
We’ve seen loads of incredibly carved pumpkins in the past and love doing this every year to see what you can come up with. Whether your pumpkin features our latest Frankenstein or Friday the 13th Halloween designs or something completely different, we can’t wait to see it!
Be sure to check out the rules and resources listed below to see how you can get your entry in. Also check out all the great winners we had from previous years!

Resources
There’s a great resource out there we like to visit this time of year called zombiepumpkins.com. It’s where you’ll find a number of cool patterns and carving tips.
You can also download the ITS 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 but it’s not mandatory.
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 30th; Winners will be announced on Halloween Day!
To submit your entry, simply email us at least a 1024×768 pixel image of your carved pumpkin. Be sure to put “Pumpkin Carving Contest” in the Subject line of your email.
By submitting a photo of your pumpkin carving, you agree that the image is good to use here on ITS when we announce the winners and can be added to our ITS Flickr Page and Pinterest Boards.
Happy Haunting, we can’t wait to see your entry!
