I was just curious....would a carving with the Simpsons on it qualify? I had a really good idea in mind but wasn't sure if it would count....

Nope, because it's not anime, unless you make it anime-styled. ;p Mr. Sparkle doesn't count.

I just found out about this contest yesterday and I usually check up on the contests every now and then, but on a different forum (convention forum I staff at) I made a thread about pumpkin carving and someone directed me to the carving contest and I had to kick myself because I forgot to check it! So last night around 8pm I had to go outside and get a second picture of my pumpkin (with the flash so it was a 'daytime' pic) but I was worried about the 'sign' part. In the rules it just states that you need anime news network there so I just added the text on the photo. I was wondering if that still qualifies. I was in a rush, and I have proof that my pumpkin is mine. I could even send a picture of me and my pumpkin on my site.

I was just a litte worried that it might not be accepted albeit it was sent on time. If anyone could reply that would be appreciated!

I cant wait to see everyone elses pumpkins!!! Anime smile

Oh and one more question, does Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann count under the 'mecha' category? Just wondering! Mr. Green

Soon, hopefully. We had a *lot* of entries (over 100), so it's taking longer than I expected.

with that many entry.. I guess mine won't have a chance then. =/
Even though I never expect to win in the first place since I have seen those from last few years and some were just great.
I am not much of a "artist" and my pumpkin was done in an hour with a broken fruit knife. Sad
Oh well, hopefully I am the only one who did a kenshin pumpkin so at least I can say mine was the best kenshin pumpkin Laughing

I know what you mean. I now have a 1 in over a hundred chance to win or even get runner up. Sad days.

Honestly, i know i have absolutely no chance of winning after i realized how horrible my pumpkin looked when compared to the previous years entries... I still spent a good 2 hours on it and felt that i should still post it up, because regardless of how horrible it may be, i still took pride in it.. Cool Laughing
