Carve Your Way to Victory: Artix Entertainment Pumpkin Carving Contest

2024 Pumpkin Carving Contest

Attention all heroes of Lore! It’s time to trade in your swords, staves, and spells for something slightly sharper… a carving knife! We are excited to announce the Artix Entertainment Pumpkin Carving Contest since everyone’s favorite spooky holiday, Mogloween, is now upon us. Whether you summon your inner Necromancer or embrace the Moglin-inspired spirit of the season, we want to see how you transform humble gourds into something spooktacular 🎃

Carving out the Contest Rules 

⏰ Timeframe

Begins Friday, October 4th, 2024
Ends Friday, November 1st, 2024, at 11:59pm Eastern Time (Florida time)

👍 Eligibility

Contest is open to all players worldwide! But your game account MUST be in good standing in order to win a prize. 

👻 Theme

All entries must be Artix Entertainment themed. Maybe you’ll carve your favorite character, an iconic location, or a fearsome boss from ~any~ Artix game! 

👨‍🎨 Creativity

Get creative! You can carve any pumpkin, gourd, or other helpless vegetable you can get your hands on. Feel free to add props, lights, or maybe even some paint – but just make sure carving is the main feature.

🫵 Originality

All pumpkin designs must be carved by YOU! This goes without saying, but no AI art and no stealing someone else’s work. We want to see YOUR skills shine – or, rather, glow with an eerie light.

🙋‍♀️ Number of Entries

Oh my gourd – there’s no limit to how many pumpkins you can carve! Feel free to submit as many masterpieces as you like, but remember: each person can only win one prize, regardless of the number of submissions. Artix Entertainment may also choose to feature just one of your designs when we announce our winners.

🏆 Prizes

🥇 1st Place: 5,000 Artix Points (or the equivalent microcurrency for your game character) 

🥈 2nd Place: 3,000 Artix Points (or equivalent microcurrency)

🥉 3rd Place: 1,000 APs (or equivalent) 

🏅 Runner Ups: 500 APs (“”)

As always, Artix Entertainment reserves the right to award those who go above and beyond! 

📝 How to Enter

1. Get your hands on a pumpkin, gourd, or other fruit / vegetable; see below for more ideas.
2. Plan your carving design before you dig on in. It can be a monster, an item, NPCs, landscape, or anything from any Artix Entertainment game! 
3. Carefully carve your pumpkin masterpiece. Carving knives and blades are super sharp (and getting healed IRL is a lot harder than in an RPG, just sayin’)!
4. On a little piece of paper / placard next to your creation, include:
• your Character Name
• the game that your character is in
• and the year
• Example: Beleen, AQW, 2024
5. Snap clear, high-resolution photo(s) of your carved pumpkin(s)
6. Upload your photos on one ~or~ more of the following:
• ✍️ in the Comments below 
• 👾 Discord contest channel
• 💙 tag @AE_Contests on Twitter and/or Artix Entertainment Facebook using the hashtags #Artix, #Pumpkin, and #PumpkinCarving.
7. Be sure to type your Character Name ~and~ the game your character is in alongside your post. Feel free to give your submission a title and/or a short description, too.  
8. Submit your entry and best of luck to all our pumpkin-carving comrades!  

🌱 Pumpkin Alternatives

If pumpkins aren’t available in your area, don’t worry – there are plenty of other stabby-stab options to help you get into the Mogloween spirit! Feel free to experiment with whatever is available near you. Here are some fun ideas:

🥔 Turnips 
Did you know turnips were the original jack-o’-lanterns? Carefully carve into their pale flesh – but try not to aggro the salad bar :D

🍉 Watermelons 
Watermelons are a fantastic substitute! They’re easy to carve, delicious to slurp down, and the green rind can add a unique pop of color to your creation.

🥒 Gourds and Squash
Smaller gourds and squash come in all shapes and sizes, perfect for crafting intricate designs. NTM, they give off serious autumn vibes!

🍎 Apples 
Apples may be small, but they’re mighty! Try carving a logo, class icon, a stupid derpfish, or something small on an apple and then light it up for a spooky effect!

🍍 Pineapples 
Want to make your carving tropical and terrifying? Pineapples offer a quirky alternative with a spiky twist!

🍈 Cantaloupes & Honeydews 
These melons have soft, easy-to-carve surfaces and a slightly creepy, otherworldly glow when lit from within.

🍂 Butternut Squash 
Long and sleek, butternut squash could be perfect for carving a character’s face! 

🫑 Bell Peppers 
For a small, quick carving session, bell peppers are surprisingly versatile. Plus, all the different colors give you a lot of creative freedom!

Trick or Treat Yourself to Fame & Fortune

Ready to ‘squash’ the competition? Carve out some time, channel your inner artist, and let’s make this Mogloween the most ‘gourd’geous one yet 🤣 Be sure to submit your entry before the stroke of midnight on November 1st, because, let’s face it: trick-or-treating is exhausting and slipping into a candy coma is a legit threat 🍬 No judgment if we catch you carving with one hand while plowing through a chocolate bar with the other.

So pick your pumpkin and start carving now… or risk being haunted by FOMO for all eternity 😱

Gourd luck to all and battle on,
Beleen and the Artix Entertainment team
