What: Pumpkin Design Contest
When: October 25th 7-9pm PT
Where: Ladd and Lass Brewing
722 NE 45th St

Theme: Story Time
This year there are three ways to participate:
1) Join us at Ladd and Lass on October 25th as a spectator
2) Join us at Ladd and Lass on October 25th as a carver/participant
3) Enter the virtual People's Choice competition online
In-Person Competition Instructions:
The In-Person Competition will be hosted by our sponsor Ladd & Lass Brewing, and will be judged by a panel of judges at the event on October 25th.
1) $25 gets you in the door for the event as a spectator.
2) An additional $25 enters you as a carver for the event and registers your pumpkin in the competition. Make sure to bring your pumpkin already carved and any display items you might have!
That's it. Otherwise, peruse the designs and enjoy the event!
People's Choice Award Instructions:
The People's Choice Award will follow last year's virtual format and will be determined by how many votes a pumpkin submission receives. Kids and young people under 21, this is the pumpkin event for you.
It's as easy as 1-2-3!
1) Carvers will get their own designated pumpkin page to promote their creation. Post photos and tell us about your pumpkin!
2) Carvers direct friends, family, and colleagues to their pumpkin page.
3) People can vote for their favorite pumpkin by donating whatever amount they choose. $1 = 1 vote.
The pumpkin that has the most votes by 8:00 pm on October 25, 2022, will be declared the People's Choice Award winner!
