We are hosting our 5th ever Pumpkin Decoration Contest, starting today!

Here are the rules:

To enter, you need to come up with some Politics & War related concept (game related, alliance related, nation related, player related, etc.) and carve it into a pumpkin. Or paint it on a pumpkin. Or paint it on a watermelon. Or build it in Minecraft. Or 3D print it. You have a broad creative license.

Then, take a picture of your "pumpkin" and submit it here as a reply in this thread to enter the competition. You will have approximately 18 days to create and submit your entry. This thread will lock on October 31, and then we will have a period of voting from November 2 - November 8 where everyone will be able to vote on their favorite pumpkins.

The winners will then be announced November 9. Prizes may take up to a week to distribute.

All submitted works must be an original work of your human authorship, AI generated images will not be accepted, not even for participation awards.

*We know some players, depending on their geographic locations IRL may not have access to pumpkins. For this reason, we are okay with submissions that are carvings into other fruits / vegetables (e.g. a watermelon, a turnip, whatever you might have access to.) Or you can make a digital pumpkin. The world is your oyster!

Here are the prizes:

Everyone who participates will be guaranteed a special Halloween 2024 achievement for their nation related to this event and $25,000,000

This year real carved fruits will be voted on separately and receive separate prizes, including an extra achievement just for submitting. To qualify in this category a real pumpkin (or appropriate stand-in) must be carved or otherwise decorated.

1st: 500M + Nation Award + Winner Achievement
2nd: 400M + Nation Award + Winner Achievement
3rd: 300M + Nation Award + Winner Achievement
All: 100M + Achievement

Other submission types such as drawings, models, minecraft builds, etc. Can still participate in the Artistic Representations category with the following prizes.

1st: 400M + Winner Achievement
2nd: 300M + Winner Achievement
3rd: 200M + Winner Achievement

Additional prizes may be added depending on event participation!

*Prizes are additive, eg the winner of the real fruit category will get the winning prize, the real pumpkin participation prize, and the general participation prize.

Other Notes:

We reserve the right to reject submissions not related to Politics and War.

You can submit multiple photos in the thread, but you need to identify one primary photo that we will use for voting.

We would also like to feature your creations on social media on our Politics and War accounts! If you do not want us to share your photo in this way, please just make a note of that when you post your submission.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here in this thread so that everyone can see the questions and answers.

 

That's it! I hope you'll enjoy this fun little festive contest and giveaway. We are excited to see what you all can come up with!

 

not a joke please take it seriously.

Pencil drawing of a pumpkin with the name of my alliance written on it! (pls join, it's fun there, don't make me have to keep you hostage). I was trying something with the letters, I hope you like it.

How'd you get the P and the O to stay attached to nothing? And what's supporting that stack of pumpkins in the back?

Looks sus tbh.

Edit: 78% probability of artificial according to https://huggingface.co/spaces/umm-maybe/AI-image-detector

AI not allowed, didn’t read the rules. 

 

It's not AI, it's an actual canvas, I can take a picture of me holding it if you guys want me to, I'm fine with it, and I have pictures of the entire process aswell, I was going to do this artwork with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, but since AI is becoming such a problem I did it in an actual canvas.

Not yours, we were talking about Sixgun's entry which was AI generated. Your paintwork looks awesome and legit to me.
