Here’s how you enter:

1. Get a pumpkin

2. Make a Swagbucks inspired carving – could be our Logo, me or TSGal or good ol’ Bux – or something even more creative. Can it have ghosts and ghouls and Frankensteins in it? Sure, as long as you visually relate them to Swagbucks in some way.

3. Take a picture of your creation and email it to Pumpkins(AT)Swagbucks.com along with your Swagbucks Username. You can pose with your pumpkin or not – up to you.

4. We’ll post valid submissions on our Flickr page, where you can comment on which photos you like.

5. We’ll select 5 finalists and put them in the blog on October 27th for you to vote on; on November 1st we’ll announce the winner of the 1000 Swag Buck first place prize.

I know, I said 1500 – so how do you earn that extra 500? Easy – purchase the Pumpkin Carving Stencil Set in the Swag Store’s Halloween section – if you’ve purchased that AND you win, you get an extra 500 Swag Bucks.

Just a few Don’ts for you:

DON’T send in pics of non-SB related carvings – while I’m sure they’re cool, they’re not really what this contest is about and they won’t be accepted as valid submissions.

DON’T digitally manipulate or photoshop your images – if you submit those kinds of pics, as creative as they are, we won’t accept them – we’re looking for people to get in there and do some carving. This also applies to painted pumpkins – we’re looking for the carved variety.

I’ve seen some GREAT entries so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing more! Send ‘em in!
