With Halloween just around the corner, there's a good chance you're already thinking of buying pumpkins to carve. Well, if you're still thinking of artistic ideas, why not carve a Blizzard-themed pumpkin for a chance to win a Logitech G51 Surround Sound Speaker System ?

Blizzard is hosting its sixth annual pumpkin-carving contest until Oct. 28. The pumpkins must be related to World of Warcraft or another Blizzard Entertainment title. Since it would be difficult to mail the carved pumpkin to the judges, you'll have to take a picture, so make sure the lighting showacases your work.

In addition to the speakers, winners will have their creations posted on the World of Warcraft and Blizzard Web sites. For the full rules and submission tips, check the contest page or keep reading below.

In a longstanding Blizzard tradition, this year will see our sixth annual pumpkin-carving contest take place. The most creative, original, and well-designed pumpkins from the Warcraft, StarCraft, or Diablo game universes will be awarded with glittering prizes. From 12:00 A.M. PDT on October 8 through 11:59 P.M. PDT on Tuesday, October 28, we will be accepting submissions for our 2008 Halloween Pumpkin Contest.

Competition in this contest is always fierce; check out [2003 ], [ 2004 ], [2005 ], [ 2006 ] and [2007 ] to get an idea of what you're up against. And, just to make things interesting, this year you're competing for some elite loot:

The top (5) winning submissions to the Blizzard Pumpkin Carving Contest will win a pair of Logitech G51 customizable 5.1 gaming speakers designed specifically for gamers. A special thanks to Logitech and Good Luck!

Winners will also have the screen shot that they submitted displayed in association with their World of Warcraft character name, on the World of Warcraft website located at www.worldofwarcraft.com and the Sponsor's official website located at www.blizzard.com.

Judging will be done by the World of Warcraft team. Remember, your pumpkin must be lit in the submission picture in order to qualify. Submissions from the past four years are ineligible.
