e also have a contest for those of you who chose to max out in Pumpkin-Carving instead of Tailoring! In a longstanding Blizzard tradition, this year will see our sixth annual pumpkin-carving contest take place. The most creative, original, and well-designed pumpkins from the Warcraft, StarCraft, or Diablo game universes will be awarded with glittering prizes. From 12:00 A.M. PDT on October 8 through 11:59 P.M. PDT on Tuesday, October 28, we will be accepting submissions for our 2008 Halloween Pumpkin Contest.

Competition in this contest is always fierce; check out [2003], [ 2004], [2005], [ 2006] and [2007] to get an idea of what you're up against. And, just to make things interesting, this year you're competing for some elite loot:

The top (5) winning submissions to the Blizzard Pumpkin Carving Contest will win a pair of Logitech G51 customizable 5.1 gaming speakers designed specifically for gamers. A special thanks to Logitech and Good Luck!

Winners will also have the screen shot that they submitted displayed in association with their World of Warcraft character name, on the World of Warcraft website located at www.worldofwarcraft.com and the Sponsor's official website located at www.blizzard.com.

Judging will be done by the World of Warcraft team. Remember, your pumpkin must be lit in the submission picture in order to qualify. Submissions from the past four years are ineligible.

Pumpkin Submission Tips

• The winning entries will display high levels of originality, craftsmanship, and humor.
• Your pumpkin must be lit up by a candle or other light source in your photo entry. You can show another photo of the pumpkin unlit if you wish.
• Pumpkins must be related to World of Warcraft or another Blizzard Entertainment title.
• Try to take the best picture possible, as picture quality helps make a good impression on the judges.
• Make sure you tell us what the pumpkin is supposed to be in the caption, just in case it's not clear.
