Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest (Win GoW!)


Reader Subnoise Rat's skill with squash fruit and kitchen knives has inspired the 1st Annual Xbox360Fanboy Pumpkin Carving Contest. Here's how it works:
  • Carve an Xbox 360-related Jack O' Lantern based on a logo, game, character, etc.
  • Send one color photo (at least 425 pixels wide) to [email protected] before 11:00pm EST Monday, October 30. Include a title so we know what we are supposed to be looking at, your name, gamertag, and mailing address.
  • 1 entry per person
  • No stolen pics
Richard and I will choose the top 10 pumpkins based on workmanship and creativity for a public vote to be held here on October 31 (also known as Halloween!) with winners announced and notified by email the following day.

1st Prize: One NTSC copy of Gears of War shipped to your door via Amazon.com as soon as it becomes available. This prize is proudly sponsored by RockMeTV.com -- which, by the way, will be LIVE and Interactive Wednesday October 25th at 3:00pm EST. Tune in for a chance to win more free stuff.

2nd Prize: One copy of Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged

3rd Prize: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for Xbox Live Arcade

In the event of a tie, the winners will be decided by a random drawing. Xbox 360 Fanboy reserves final judgement in all disputes.

Happy Carving!

You could always eBay it. Then the copy you've already bought will be just as good as free :)

Anybody can enter, but the 1st prize won't work unless you have an NTSC TV.
