How would you feel about the Online Community hosting a Pumpkin Carving Competition?!

I'm taking all these amazing ideas in and have had a thought.

Would everyone like it if we just called it our "Pumpkin Competition" and members submit their Pumpkin Craft? So it can open up to carving a pumpkin, painting a pumpkin on a pumpkin seed, doing a digital art piece of a pumpkin, knitting a pumpkin, a dressed pumpkin or a painted pumpkin if you don't want to or are not able to carve? 

What do you think? 

That's a brilliant idea @Hannah_Scope because if it was called pumpkin carve I would take that literally with my autism and get upset that I couldn't take part. However with this idea I can use my phone if needed.

PUMPKINS PUMPKINS PUMPKINS

Edit: after going round my head several times the word pumpkin has lost all meaning and I'm now wonder why the word pump and kin came together to make pumpkin. Who are they kin of, what do they pump? So many questions.

Interesting, so it's from a french/latin word for Melon. Etymology always fascinates me.

In the US, pumpkins are literally huge, try wheeling that out of the supermarket in your shopping trolley.

There are tons of pumpkins out there, some the size of 'hot air balloons'!!

It would literally take me years to 'carve' one, in fact if they find a skeleton next to a pumpkin in the year 3076, it's me.
