The UNM Student Union Building (SUB) is hosting the Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest for Halloween on Monday, Oct. 31, 2005. The contest is open to individual students, departments and student organizations. Pumpkins are free and can be picked up in the SUB Atrium starting at 10:30 a.m.

The carved pumpkins must be returned to the SUB Atrium for judging by 1 p.m. Select UNM students and administrators will serve as judges for the event. Prizes will be awarded at 2 p.m. Participants are encouraged, but not required, to be present to win.
Last year more than 50 pumpkins were entered and carved. This goes to show that students and faculty really enjoy this great Halloween tradition. This annual event is a sure way to kick off the holiday season. Join in on all the fun by showing off your pumpkin carving skills or stop by to see who will be this year’s winners.
Pumpkins will be judged on creativity, originality and effort. Prizes will be awarded to the first, second, and third place pumpkins for individual students and UNM departments/student organizations.
