St. Paul Real Estate: Pumpkin Carving Contest

Get ready for the first annual virtual pumpkin carving contest, hosted by the St. Paul Real Estate Blog. Why? Because we can. Sharpen your virtual knives!

Rules and instructions: - I am not much of a rules person myself yet I sense we need them to keep this event organized.

Click on the pumpkin to get a full size image, save the image, or just paste it into the paint program built into the windows operating system. Turn the pumpkin into a work of art using the drawing tools. Save as a jpeg and post on a blog or web site, then email me a link. No web site? Email your jpeg directly to me: pumpkin(at)tboardman.com

All entries are due October 26th and will be posted on this site on October 27th. Readers will have until October 30th to vote for their favorite pumpkin. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and an honorable mention will be posted on October 31st.

Prizes include a link back to your blog, some fun, my undying gratitude for participating in this unusual event, and nation wide recognition for your artistic ability, or maybe your lack of artistic ability.
