Archtober‘s annual Pumpkitecture Pumpkin Carving Competition is going virtual this year and that means everyone can take part in this Halloween event in NYC! Channel the spirits of “Marcel Booeuer” and “Michael Gravesyard” to concoct an architecturally inspired creation. Participants can use any materials at their disposal, but at least one real pumpkin must be included in the design. Beyond those rules, the only limit is your imagination.

You can submit up to five photos and an optional short video to show off your pumpkin masterpiece. By sure to turn them in by Thursday, October 29th. Make sure to tag @archtober when you post on social media. Winners will be announced on Halloween, Saturday, October 31 on the Archtober Instagram. You can read all the rules of participation for this pumpkin carving competition here!
