Pumpkin Voting is OPEN
Well... I was planning on gussying up the interface a bit (my php skills are just SLIGHTLY better than they were last year at this time...), but time is an omnibus. (Don't even ask.) The deadline for entries to our 343 Guilt O' Lantern pumpkin carving competition came and went last night... and when the dust settled, there were 53 entries. Some are funny, some are simple, some will take your breath away. The rules for judging are the same as they were last year: you have five votes, they all count evenly. You have a week to cast them (though you have to cast them all at once; you can't vote for 3, then come back and vote for 2 more). Voting opens right now, and will close sometime next Tuesday, late. (Or maybe Wednesday morning, if I'm not around Tuesday night.) Please, please, PLEASE read the directions - if you vote for the wrong pumpkins, those pumpkins are getting your votes, because we're not messing with stuff. Look over ALL the pumpkins; if you pick 5 from the first page, you'll be skipping some killer entries. In fact, the 'next page' button at the bottom of the page simply cycles around; once you're done, you start over. So look through everything, maybe ruminate for a day or two, THEN vote. (Or vote right away - but look at everything first.) If you've forgotten what the winners go home with, check back on our contest page for the prize lists. Tell your friends to vote - but don't tell them HOW to vote; make this a fair contest, no ballot stuffing! This is all about fun, and I gotta say, there are some amazing pumpkins again this year. Go see! (Louis Wu 18:30:24 UTC)
