Here are the pumpkins; vote for your favorite!

November 1, 2013

pumpkinThanks to everyone who participated in our 3rd Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest and submitted their entries. Each year we are blown away by the creativity of our pumpkin-carving neighbors. This year we received many amazing entries again. It’s worth mentioning that this year, more neighbors focused on Philadelphia related topics, including serious ones like school closings.

So judge for yourself: check out the pumpkin photos below (click to enlarge) and then vote for your favorite. The Readers’ Choice winner will get the grand prize. West Philly Local will select winners in the following categories: Funniest, Scariest, Best Philly-themed, and Kids. The voting will close at midnight on Sunday, Nov. 3. We’ll post the results on Monday, Nov. 4.

    Pumpkin #3 but #10 is my runner-up. Nice job one and all!

    Hard to choose between #3 and #10, but went with #3 for the political statement. Hope Lou Reed would understand…

    Would be nice to see #6 lit up– but had to go with #10 anyway.

    Really amazed at the detail in pumpkin 3. And the statement on what is happening in our city.

    I voted for number three because it was the scariest, besides having such intricate detail.
