Blizzard's 5th annual Pumpkin Carving Contest has begun

Time to sharpen those knives and carefully study your favorite raid boss. Blizzard has announced the beginning of their annual Pumpkin Carving Contest.

Carve an image from any Warcraft, Starcraft or Diablo into a pumpkin, light it, take a picture and send it in to Blizzard before Monday, October 29. The top ten submissions will win some sweet surround sound speakers. Humor gets extra points.

The competition should be fierce. Don't believe me? Check out the winners from the last four years:

• 2003

• 2004

• 2005

• 2006

Before you start ripping into to the closest gourd, be sure to check out the complete rules on the Warcraft site.

EDIT: Updated title. Thanks Bondye, that's what I get for writing articles at the wee hours of the morning.
