WOW - this is the closest race I remember and I have been doing this for a long time. The judges have really spread their votes so maybe we have a minority winner??! Very fitting for the current political climate...  We have four cavers on the podium and only two points between first and third - what a nail biter!  Thanks to all the carvers and judges for making this another memorable year!! #1 - by Laurie Ashworth With 28 points, a real Canadian sweetheart with the best name for sure! Funny none of the Danish judges picked this one...

Anyway, let's get to the interesting part and see all the amazing pumpkin creations from this year! Mine was ready with 2 hours to spare so not quite a nocturnal creation.. 😆 Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween and enjoy the carvings!! Pumpkin A: Comet Lemmon.
