HMS Mfg. Co., the maker of Home Logic Pumpkin Carving Tools, is taking this love for pumpkin carving and rewarding those outstanding carvers with a chance to show off their handy work. Introducing the first annual Pumpkin Carving Challenge! Home Logic is asking all the pumpkin carvers out there to take photos of their pumpkin art and submit them to the Challenge.

The 1st place winner will receive $500 and a $500 donation to the school or charity of their choice. “We wanted to give something back to the community and reward our pumpkin challenge winners.” said Janet Sofy, President of HMS Mfg. Co. (creators of Home Logic), “To us, Halloween is a social event, it’s the one time of the year when people can meet with their friends and neighbors to share in something light and fun.”

Second place will win $250 and third will win $100. Each of the winners’ designs may also be used in future stencil books created by Home Logic.

You can visit www.pumpkinchallenge.com for the official rules and details. There are two ways you can enter: 1. Upload your photos via the website or 2. Send a photo via US Mail. All submissions must be submitted or postmarked by November 21st, 2007. The winners will be announced on December 31st, 2007.
