Pumpkin Decorating Contest

Join us for the Buncombe County 4-H Pumpkin Contest! The contest is open to youth ages 5-18 (as of January 1) who live in Buncombe County. We will have 3 categories for competitions this year:

  • Carving (no template) – Youth can carve any type of pumpkin/gourd. Adult supervision required
  • Decoration Only – You can attach any appropriate item to your pumpkin to make it amazing! Paint, markers, ribbon, and more! No carving
  • Carving and Story/Poem (no template) – Youth can carve any type of pumpkin/gourd. Youth may also use some extras to make their pumpkin character even more interesting. For this competition you will need to make your pumpkin a “character” and your story/poem will reflect that character. Story/poem must be at least 4 sentences/lines long and can not exceed 1 page.

Participants in the contest will submit up to 5 photos of their entry which will be shared on the Buncombe County 4-H Facebook page.

Judging will be based on:

  • 1/3 Number of Facebook votes
  • 1/3 Number of Extension and Soil and Water staff votes
  • 1/3 Number of votes by visitors to the Buncombe Extension office

Submissions are due by 5 p.m. on Monday, October 25, 2021, through our online form.
