Calling all North Olympic Peninsula pumpkin-carving enthusiasts!

The Halloween season is here, and we’re ready to cut straight to the heart of the holiday with the online Peninsula Daily News’ 2012 Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest.

Unleash your blades, axes, chitinous claws and other creative cutlery to carve up a jack-o’-lantern of epic awesomeness — then take a photo and send it to us.

The contest is free to enter, but it’s only for residents of Clallam County or Jefferson County.

And there are prizes to be won by you under-appreciated pumpkin artists!

To enter, go to the contest page at http://tinyurl.com/pdnpumpkins.

Click on the “Submission” tab at the top and follow the instructions for registering and submitting a photo of your scary, silly or cute jack-o’-lantern.

All photos must be submitted on the web — sorry, no entries by mail or in person.

Deadline for your photos is 5 p.m. Nov. 8.

To view entries after they’ve been approved and posted, click on the “View Entries” tab.

Winners will be chosen by the public in online voting from 5 p.m. Nov. 1 to 5 p.m. Nov. 8.

Voting is also free. You can vote up to five times per day during the voting period.

The three entries that get the most online votes will win prizes courtesy of the contest’s sponsors: Pacific Rim Hobby, Olympic Game Farm, Pacific Pizza, Air Flo Heating, Sunny Farms and Elwha River Casino.

Questions or problems posting a photo?

Phone Sue Stoneman at 360-417-3555 (there’s voice mail 24/7), or send a detailed email to susan.stoneman@peninsuladailynews.com.
