4th edition Pumpkin Decoration Voting

[Dr Rush]

 

Edit: I've applied a fix for the tiny voting window as best I can, you may need to do a hard refresh of the page for it to fix.
Regarding AI: I am aware of the controversy regarding ai submissions, ultimately this is a failing by me as the event organizer to update rules for a modern issue. However, it would be immensely poor form for me to change rules after the event has already started so ai submissions will be allowed to stand for voting and the community can reward them or not based on votes. I am aware this is less than kind to the people who fully committed to high effort original works, to that end staff will be distributing additional prizes to such works at the end of the event.
 

We are now entering the voting phase of the contest which will run until game day change on the 30th. Winners will be confirmed on the 31st but it may take up to a week to distribute prizes. 

You can vote in the poll above by selecting your favorite pumpkins in the above poll, you can select however many you want but keep in mind the more you select the more you water down your votes.

To address the elephant in the room; I didn't really consider ai art when I wrote the rules for this competition and I'm not going to change them this late into the event, so ai art is being allowed. However this topic will be reconsidered for future events. Additionally some other submissions have been excluded because they are not original, do not contain a pumpkin or pumpkin substitute, or do not relate to PW in a meaningful way. If this includes your submission you can reach out to me in DM for clarification on staff's reasoning.

A big thank you to the 65 contestants who have made it to voting and everyone who has submitted. While it is too late to be entered into the grand prize voting you can still submit in the submissions thread linked below for the participation prizes and a chance at the Staff Selection prizes through the 31st.

For those struggling to see the images, open up the inspect console, look at the styling, filter by ipsField_fieldList and change the max height max width attributes

Surely these AI generated ones dont count... 

[Fulcrum]

I'm concerned there are probably a fair share that are not original work and just ripped off of a Google search. Maybe in future contests we should require the photo include a piece of paper (or equivalent, such as a sign for Minecraft submissions) with the submitter's nation name and "For the 202X Pumpkin Decoration Contest" written down

This King hates to say, but This king believes that the PW carving on the pumpkin that is being held is fake, but trying to trick others into thinking it's real. Not only is the design..... odd, but there is no seam on top of the pumpkin.

Lol my pumpkin has no votes

Note: can you please not publish my "pumpkin" on any other social media other than the P&W forums and the P&W game? Thank you

interesting....

The post isn't even formatted so most people can read it.

 

I'm sorry this is an incredibly low-effort community event. I voted for the few that [seemed] to be actual carved pumpkins.

Also if you are having issues with the poll being too small do a hard refresh so a fix to the forum theme can load.

Then, take a picture of your "pumpkin" and submit it here as a reply in this thread to enter the competition.

You did say the pumpkin has to be yours. I'm assuming that's why you deleted the very clearly copied from Google submissions. If these copied Google images arn't allowed, why are AI generated ones?

Good day everyone 

[Malachi Vegas]

This post really fulfills community tradition with its needless drama.

Honestly gotta go with this little buddy. Also I love the WAP and WTF references.
