Exploding pizza, smashing pumpkin

Pumpkin Sounds like a new martial arts film, right? Not exactly. It’s the title manqué of a little contest I’ve whipped up for InsideTheCBC.com readers.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: carve your own CBC pumpkin!

I’ve included a downloadable CBC logo/gem/icon/exploding pizza, which you can print out at whatever size fits your pumpkin.

The prize, such as it is: a $25 gift certificate for the CBC Shop.

OK, so it ain’t the 6/49, but heck, it’ll get you a retro T-shirt or a HNIC hat.

How to enter:

Take a photo of your creation and e-mail it to me.

Bonus marks for adding your own pieces of flair to the pumpkin design, or for photo “interestingness” - appearing with your pumpkin, odd settings, etc.

No legal mumbo jumbo – I’ll just pick the winner and announce it on Nov. 1, along with the photo. If there are enough entries, I’ll create a page for the photos on this site.

Oh, and your pumpkin doesn’t have to be Pantone red 485C.

Stay tuned – I’m told there’s more pumpkiny goodness coming soon from CBC.ca.

(For those too lazy to enter, or who can’t be trusted with knives, try the CBC Kids game Pumpkin Patch Blast)

I am heading directly to the Pumpkin Patch Blast game, as your last sentence describes me perfectly.

So… if I read this correctly, Pantone 185 red is acceptable?

Paul says:

Probably not to the farmer.
