[Musogato]

Welcome to
Distant Horizon's 7th annual
Avatar Pumpkin Carving Contest!

www.musogato.com/avatar/apcc/

Voting: www.musogato.com/avatar/apcc/vote.html

WINNERS!: www.musogato.com/avatar/apcc/winners11.html

It's that time of year again... Are you guys ready for it? With all of the Legend of Korra and ATLA comics info and images that came out this summer, there's plenty of new material to get your creative juices flowing. I hope you will join in!

Entering the contest is super easy -- just carve an Avatar-themed pumpkin (or any other carve-able veggie like a watermelon or squash), take a photo, and send it in!

Everyone can enter regardless of age or country, and you have until Sunday, November 6th to send in your carving photo. Anything Avatar: The Last Airbender or Legend of Korra related is welcome, so long as it is viewable for all ages. Each person can submit up to two carvings, and working/submitting as a group is okay too.

Voting will begin on Monday, November 7th, and you can do so here. Everyone will be able to vote, so if you're entering, be sure to tell your friends! Voting will stay open for two weeks, after which the top 15 entries will be on display forever, and prizes for the Top 4 + Mod's Choice will be handed out.

This year, prizes include a 6-inch crocheted Korra amigurumi doll (photos), a White Lotus beret made by Reynalyn (photos) and the always present custom fanart. More prizes will be announced as they come in, though if anyone would like to help provide prizes (be it custom fanart, crafts, etc), please email/message me for more info.


Interested? Then get to it!
Entries can be emailed to me, or you can send it via PM.

This year's first entry has come in from Liza, and I finally finished that Korra amigurumi doll for the prize! Yay.





Is anyone here planning on carving a pumpkin this year, Avatar or otherwise? I'm starting mine tomorrow; a Korra design but hopefully a Trigun one as well if I can fit the time in.

Also my Trigun pumpkin, because I can.

[Musogato]

Yeah, I love The Boulder's expression in Daniel's, and SuperEileen did a great job. I think K_Puff made that stencil and an Aang one a few years back; it's great to still see it around. I like Angie's and Dave's entries a lot too, but it's really cool to see all of the different carving styles.

Haha, if you want it you'll have to enter. I'll probably make one for next year too, although maybe a different character. _{I'll see what I make while I wait for The Avengers Legend of Korra. *cough*}

However there's another prize available for this year too... a White Lotus beret made by Reynalyn, and shown here as modeled on Mike and Bryan!




So fly. We also have some more entries, from:

Angie


Dave


Emma


Fanwoman


Moku and Roku


Philip


Sylvester


Taylor H.

Nice job, everyone. I have a soft spot for this contest - it always reminds me of when I first joined back in 2007. ^_^

It's too bad, I carved a pumpkin and everything and forgot to enter ^^; I guess it will have to wait for next year, all the other ones look fantastic though, awesome job everyone

[Musogato]

Meant to post this earlier, but the winners have been announced! Since there were 14 entries, all of the pumpkins will stay on the site, but the top four winners are: Jade _{(....Awkward! but thank you!)}, Daniel, Dave, and Philip, with Mod's Choice winner Angie! As mentioned in the site FAQs, since my entry came in the top four, my prize has been passed on to fifth place winner, Emma.

Thank you again to everyone who entered and everyone who voted, and I hope you guys will participate next year! I will be making more amigurumi dolls for prizes, Korra and maybe Aang, or Paboo. We'll see, and hope ya'll in the US had a happy Thanksgiving!
