Let's face it, no one can carve a pumpkin like @kerrislravenhill, so we honor her awesomeness with that badassery in the gif you see. If you've been in [the Castle](https://discord.gg/EpyXNyh) recently, you know that some of us have have our 'costume names' on already. Like the rest of the fam, she ***LOVES*** Halloween! 

Putting our Malificent heads together, we decided it would be crazy fun to have a pumpkin carving contest. Did you know, that it is the Irish that hold the mantle for creating Jack-o-Lanterns? Ya, some guy named Stingy Jack tricked the devil and was forced to walk the earth forever with nothing but a carved candle lit turnip to light his way through the darkness. Then they became illegal aliens and found pumpkins and somebody chopped off Icabod Crane's face. So, ya! Let's do that! The pumpkin carving part, I mean.

In but a few short weeks, you will see a post asking for your entries with all the ruley rules and junk inside. We will pay out the first three favorites from our judges up to twelve entrants. If we go beyond that, then we'll do 4 places and for every three beyond the 12, we will add another prize so if we have 18 people enter, there will be 5 prizes. Make sense?

One of my personal favorites that my girls did one year was strewing out the insides of the pumpkin and adding some food coloring to make it look like it was puking a bloody mess! What will you come up with, I hope you join us! Freaks are always welcome and usually get to sit where they want. We are looking forward to a wonderful holiday season as it kicks off with our favorite of the year. ***If you would like to help sponsor the contest, drop a comment below or reach out to @enginewitty on Discord***. #trickortreat let's make this one 'Great' 🎃
