Can we use pineapples? I don't believe I will be able to find pumpkins where I live, but we have no shortage of pineapples!!!

Awesome idea, but not for this year. But about time we had another contest!

I don't know what part of the country YOU'RE in, but I'm in the US, and there's just as many pumpkins available as any other year- at least, gauging by the store fronts and their giant bins. The prices are about average from every other year too. I've even seen some as low as $.10 a pound.

I've seen a hell of a lot of pumpkins here.

@EtherealGoddess: Like Knuckerbearer said, but with the seeds you can also cook them. Just take all the seeds out and spread them on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven. I'm not sure at what temperature or for how long though.

This is fun - I'm sure many will compete - good luck to all, I unfortunately cannot compete as Ive got my finals to study for

also - inspiration - WOW does this every year.

.....holy shit. I could never compete with that.. I'm not even sure mine will come out right... *is planning though*

Food Network recently played their pumpkin carving contest thing again, from last year..?
They go all out during these types of competitions. I'll see if I can get my dad to take me to Acme this sunday and I can pick up a pumpkin and get some supplies.

Thank goodness that I have a knife set.

Prepare yourselves for the most horrifying pumpkin ever.

Hm, really? That sounds... tasty! I'll try.

I found a website with a few recipes for the seeds: http://homecooking.about.com/library/archive/blv14.htm

I would love to participate in this!

But unfortunately, in my country we don't have this type of pumpkin ¬¬. They are green and ugly!

Carve it up anways - into a Sylvian Alphyn.
