The leaves are changing color, and every office building in the nation is bedecked with fake spider webs and plaster pumpkins. That means only one thing: Anime News Network's annual pumpkin carving contest is back! Show us your best gourd carving skills, and you could walk away with a stash of anime and manga.

Prizes:

Rules:

Participants can enter as many times as they'd like. For each pumpkin, please send us two jpgs-- the finished product (preferably lit), and one with a sign next to it with the words "Anime News Network," so we know you did it yourself. The usage of markers will be allowed. We also ask that only real pumpkins be used. If you have a name or handle that you'd prefer to go by, please let us know in the email, as both your entry and your name. will be posted on the website.

The contest deadline is November 4 11:59PM EST. After that, no entries will be accepted, barring region-wide power failures or other extenuating circumstances. Please send all entries to halloween at animenewsnetwork dot com.

The Fine Print: Although unlikely to happen, Anime News Network reserves the right to cancel this contest at any time. Contest is open to any and all residents of the planet Earth and neighbour parallel dimensions, but prizes will only be shipped within the continental United States and Canada (So if you win, but you live in Antarctica, you have to arrange to have it sent to someone living in the appropriate area, and they can send it to you.) Winners' names will be posted on AnimeNewsNetwork.com, their mailing addresses will be provided to our shipping agent of choice (ie: USPS) and no one else. Winners' addresses and e-mail addresses will be erased once the prizes have been shipped. Non-winners' names, e-mail and mailing addresses will not be given out to any one and will be erased when the winners have been confirmed. Non-winners will not be contacted, spammed or harassed in any way. We reserve the right to retroactively add new rules when and how we see fit.
