You can easily browse all the pumpkin varieties users had last year. I clearly remember there were green ones too. In my country, pumpkin sales are in full swing right now, and there's a variety to suit every taste. However, carving them is quite challenging; it requires not only skill but also considerable strength.

One variety of Nigerian pumpkin, if i don't get the round shaped ones, then this will have to work for the contest.
I cannot remember when i saw pumpkins, perhaps cause of the location. It's really hard to find one, no end date for the contest starting Oct 1st, this will help most persons schedule time and make arrangement for the contest.
I'm looking forward to seeing our men's creations, and the forum will definitely see a surge in new accounts, which tend to either emerge or be created at this time of year and during the contest. Cheesy
OP should have made little time to include rules for the contest.
