Rules & Regulations

Hey everyone,

I wanted to apologize for the delay. We had a problem with some of the rules but these are the final set. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Christine Paden at cep22@students.uwf.edu. Hope to see everyone on Thursday the 29th!


Basically, you have to have the pumpkin PRE-CARVED before you come to campus. Entrees will be disqualified and money will not be refunded if person shows up with any weapon, including carving utensils. Drop off is at 3:30 that day and it is five dollars per pumpkin. There is no limit to how many you enter and there is no restriction to the size. We do emphasize on the importance of originality and creativity. The more pumpkins you enter, the better of a chance you have of winning. When you enter, who ever is running the registration table, will take a piece of tape, put your contact information on the tape, and place the tape on the bottom of the pumpkin. The person running the registration table will not be a judge.

The judging will begin at 4:30 and will not exceed 5:30. There will be five judges and they will score on a scale of 1-10, including half's. Each judge will go around to each pumpkin and judge it on relevance, originality, and impact. When the three winners are chosen, we will contact those who have won. If they are in the crowd when the winners are revealed, their picture will be taken and placed online.
