PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST 2025 (Results)

PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST 2025 (Results)

We received 30 fantastic contest entries from across the province of Ontario. Each was a unique work of art, making it challenging to select favorites. After much debate, the results are in. 

Thank you to everyone who submitted a contest entry, and to our friends who shared the word about the contest. You all contributed to making the contest a rousing success and a great deal of fun.

Although we could only choose a few winners, every submission added a creative spark to this contest and contributed to its incredible success. The overall creativity has left a lasting impression on us, and we sincerely hope you enjoyed the experience. Your contribution was significant and greatly appreciated.

Due to internet provider issues we are experiencing and investigating, we had to forego the three-judge panel on short notice as we were unable to send the photos to them. Instead, one judge selected the favorites, resulting in a tie in the 18+ Turtle Theme category, it impossible to select a single favorite. 

The following are the contest-carved pumpkin's selected favorites. It was not an easy task, as all the contest entries were amazing. Note: We did not receive any contest entries for the 13 to 17-year-old category. 

Congratulations to the Winners!

12 & Under

Turtle Theme - Turtle Lover in Palmerston, ONT

Any Theme - Graham Hardy, a Turtle Lover from Coe Hill, ONT

18 and Over

Turtle Theme - Kevin Stewart, Angus, ONT (tie for favorite)

Thank you once again to all the participants for being part of our contest and for contributing your time, creativity, and enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing you participate in future contests and wish you the best in all your endeavors personal and otherwise.

Unfortunately, due to the internet provider issues mentioned, we were unable to upload photos of all the pumpkins received to this web page. We had hoped to upload the photos through Facebook but ran into problems there as well. Sorry about that. . 

Thank you so much for joining us for a fun way to close out turtle season 2025.
