So let's have some fun with this 2022 Reef Themed Pumpkin Carving Contest!

ONE RANDOM WINNER AND ONE BEST CARVED WINNER!
So even if your carving skills are not great you can still win!

Start: NOW

Deadline: Nov 1st 11:59pm est.


Let's make it as simple and fair as possible!

RULES:

1. Carving must be yours.

2. Carving must be newly carved (this year) and be reef aquarium themed.

3. You must post a photo of your pumpkin carving in this thread and it must include something with your R2R user name and date written on it. (see example)

4. You may enter only (2) two pumpkins this year. (if you enter more then two only the first two added to the thread will be considered)


PRIZE:

We will have 2 prizes. One prize will be given away via random draw from everyone who participates in the contest. The Grand Prize will be the best carved "reef themed" pumpkin chosen by the Reef2Reef Staff. So you don't have the winning pumpkin to win a prize. Just participate!

Random Prize will be a $100 Gift Certificate to any Reef2Reef Sponsor you choose.

GRAND PRIZE will be a $250 Gift Certificate to any Reef2Reef Sponsor you choose.

@Fish Think Pink
What tool did you use to do the scraping? I tried that technique but didn't have anything in my house/garage that gave the effect I was looking for, yours turned out great!!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Not want I wanted to do originally but couldn't get the printer to cooperate so had to free draw it.

 

[Sailaway]

Well, here’s my entry! Took me 3 hours. It is a bumblebee grouper, which is my dream fish, (also the most unreasonable fish ever, lordy me..)

it’s drawn freehand with a reference pic.

HEE HEE HEE... Rockler wood carving tools .... snitched from garage... didn't wash afterwards... expect to go in the dog house when he next does some intricate wood carving project...

In my defense, he gave our daughter same tools (week earlier) to use... so perhaps I will skip doghouse. Appreciate you reached out so I just now remembered to go find, wash, dry and sneak back out to garage...

With all the gorgeous carved pumpkins turned in, I'm in that random category, fingers crossed!! Momma's fish need new shoes!

Fingernails have been chewed to nubs....when do we get to know
