Pumpkin Carving Contest! [closed - winners to be announced soon]

Hey guys,

I have a little contest for you this season. To celebrate the fall and its beauty I am holding a pumpkin carving contest. You may use any carving method you like. The carvings do not need to be themed to the fall or Halloween. All you have to do is post a picture online and send me a link. I will post a gallery. You have 8 days to enter.

Prizes:
I have gone VIP this month to get a few more tokens. The winners get to send me a certain number of tokens worth of sets and I will accept them.

1st prize: 1 diamond (or 10 tokens worth if you don't have AHS)
2nd prize: 8 tokens
3rd prize: 5 tokens

Honorable Mention: 2 winners - 2 bronze each

IB Monks Choice: 1 winner selected by the monks - 3 tokens

Rules:
• All submissions must be submitted by November 3rd at 12:00 PM PST (next Saturday)
• Prizes will be awarded the following day (decided by myself and anyone I choose to include)
• All submissions can not include anything inappropriate and can be disqualified at my discretion
• Submissions can be used (in any form I choose) to introduce any other competitions I invent
• No Monks will be able to vote for themselves on the IB Monks Choice Award
• Only current Monks (as of this posting) are eligible to vote for the IB Monks Choice Award
• You may submit as many entries as you wish

Submissions:
Please post your submission as a jpeg file on any filehost that you can link to. ImageShack and Flicker are both acceptable choices. Copy the direct link to the file and post a whisper on my page with your image.

Have fun and go for the diamond!

EDIT: First official entry is in. I can't wait to see your work!

Nice! I like pumpkins.

Maybe i doesn't understand everything because my english is not the best.

Did you meen images from all over the internet? Did the pictures have to be free (no copyrights???) or is it allowed to link to a page with the picture on it?

Sorry for that question.

joecool on Oct 26, 2007

I would like you guys to show me your best carving skills.

Anti's post is not an official entry.

gswd on Nov 06, 2007

I don't know. I haven't been given a link for the Monk vote.

gswd on Nov 08, 2007

Hmmm. five days since the close of the contest, no list of winners, no request in my box to vote on the IB Monks selection.

Phate on Nov 09, 2007

I'm also waiting. Don't know whats going on. :(

beanface on Nov 10, 2007

~Waiting (somewhat) patiently~

dyar on Nov 10, 2007

Perhaps Joe is waiting for his Tokens to refresh. I got a note from him 4 days ago saying:

I have to get a few things together first but I will try to let you all know as soon as possible.

beanface on Nov 10, 2007

Thanks for sharing the info, dyar!
I am just so curious who the winners are, and if we get to see the entries. :)

dyar on Nov 10, 2007

Me too :-)

joecool on Nov 10, 2007

Hi guys, sorry for the delays I've had some stuff come up with work. I am just putting together a link for the IB Monks to vote as I write this and after that I'll put up a link with all of the entries so you guys can check them out. Thanks for your patience!
