Who won the Contest? 8PM
Any given jack-o'-lantern's design (and, so far as is safe execution) should be done by the person in that age group - so if you are an adult and do all the design and work on a 2-year-old's pumpkin, that's an entry for the 13 and up group. Categories are Everybody's Favorite (voted on by you), Most Creative, Scariest and Judges' Wild Card.
No live flames or flashing lights in the jack-o'-lanterns!
