Pumpkin Maker Contest Now Till October 28th

Hey guys jack up a jack-o-lantern (oh words) and bring it in to Makerspace for a little maker fun.

Three people now have come up to me and suggested this idea…and they stared at me for an extended amount of time. Sooooo, I think that means I get to write a thread about a pumpkin altering contest.

You can use a real pumpkin, you can use a fake pumpkin, you could challenge the idea of a pumpkin and use something else, you could do a performance and just submit a photo of it. I don’t really care let’s just take the maker spirit and mix it with pumpkins and see what happens.

Here’s what you should/would do if you want to enter:

  1. Make something pumpkin-ish
  2. Put your name and email on it
  3. Bring it up to the DMS galley by October 28th around midnight
  4. We will vote
  5. Winner will get the coveted and precious and rare gold bolt

All pumpkins that are rotting, on fire, exploding, dangerous, smelling, attracting insects or otherwise will be disposed of as soon as we figure out that it’s gross.

All pumpkins (real and fake) left by November 5th will be disposed of no matter how cool it is.

Truth moment:
I haven’t been able to get my booty up to DMS at all.
I’ve seen two killer pumpkins via Facebook. Did anyone drop off pumpkins? I have a trophy to give.

Is the trophy a pumpkin? :wink:
