Coming Soon: AQW Pumpkin Carving Contest 2013

Get ready to SQUASH the competition!

Oh. My. Gourd! It’s nearly October! And with everyone’s favorite fall festival Mogloween on the horizon, pumpkins a plenty will be filling the homes of ghouls and boys. Which means this is the perfect time for the highly-anticipated AdventureQuest Worlds Pumpkin Carving Contest!

What: 2013 AQW Pumpkin Carving Contest

When: Tuesday, October 1, 2013, until Thursday, October 31st, 2013, at 11:59pm EST

Where: AQW Contest Twitter Page

Why: To carve (…or DESTROY!) pumpkins for a chance at winning FREE AdventureCoins prizes!

How: Full contest rules coming Monday, September 30th!

…but I know you guys and gals want some info. Like right NOW. So here’s a brief summary of how the contest rules will work:

• pick a pumpkin (or gourd, squash, potato… something like that)
• carve it in an Artix Entertainment theme
• include your AQW Character Name AND date next to your pumpkin
• take a high-quality photo of your masterpiece
• post the link to the AQW Contest Twitter Page
• have a chance at winning AdventureCoins!

Want some pumpkin carving inspiration? Check out our Pumpkin Carving Winners from previous years!

• 2009
• 2010
• 2011
•  2012 NOPE! No contest last year. Why? Cysero decided to have a baby, Alina and Rolith got married, and yours truly was graduating from college. What a bunch of irresponsible game leads =p

Starting Tuesday, October 1st, the 2013 AQWorlds Pumpkin Carving Contest will commence! So get some ideas brewing in that gourd of yours and prove to the world(wide web) that you are the Pumpkin Carving PumpKING!

Or Queen. PumpQueen? Meh doesn’t sound as good. I’ll work on more pumpkin puns, promise. Punkins. Nice comeback.

And on that note…

Battle on!

xoxo Beleen!
