Pumpkin Carving Competition

An experience by: Private Picassos

About this experience

Show off your carving skills in this Halloween showdown! Each participant gets a pumpkin, carving tools, pre-made templates, and a live demo to help spark inspiration. You’ll have a set time to transform your pumpkin into a spooky (or silly) masterpiece.

At the end, everyone gets to cast their vote for their favorite design, and we’ll crown the Pumpkin Carving Champion. 🏆

Leave the mess with us and take your creation home—plus bragging rights if you win! 👑✨
