Time to sharpen those knives and carefully study your favorite raid boss. Blizzard has announced the beginning of their annual Pumpkin Carving Contest. Carve an image from any Warcraft, Starcraft or Diablo into a pumpkin, light it, take a picture and send it in to Blizzard before Monday, October 29. The top ten submissions will win some sweet surround sound speakers. Humor gets extra points.
The competition should be fierce. Don't believe me? Check out the winners from the last four years:
Before you start ripping into to the closest gourd, be sure to check out the complete rules on the Warcraft site.
EDIT: Updated title. Thanks Bondye, that's what I get for writing articles at the wee hours of the morning.

I still think some of those are photoshops. Do they even check if there is a real pumpkin? It's not hard to fake it, really.

I kind of agree with #1... Some of those are quite amazing, but a few look almost impossible to carve from a logical standpoint.

Shouldn't this be the 5th annual if you have 4 years of archives?

They look like this in the light, http://www.samandfuzzy.com/misc/sppump2.gif, they are not photoshopped. Blizzard probably requests a picture of the pumpkin in full light just to make sure.

I find it a bit ironic that they are giving away a surround sound system after the 2.2 patch :D
