OK folks - here's the deal...
The Groundhogs, two of their friends and I (all told, a team of 6) are entering the official "Pumpkinfest" Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest.
Actually - allow me to forecast:
The Groundhogs, their friends and I are going to absolutely demolish the competition in the "Pumpkinfest" Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest. And you get to help!
That's right!
This wonderful opportunity to be a small, yet vital part of the official winning entry will involve finding the best underwater pumpkin design on earth. We're not trying to win a local competition here folks - we're looking to DOMINATE!
We're talking pumpkin carving on "Sea-Jay-esque" level here, folks. That's right - this will be the best pumpkin carved underwater, in the history and future of all pumpkin carving. After this years contest, they will be forced to cancel all future contests.
But only if you help us!
Find us the best pumpkin design. Preferably a cool pumpkin design with a scuba-theme. And no, pictures of a p-valve are probably not going to cut it.
(get it - 'cut it?')
So someone has to be artistic, or scrounge-worthy, right? Submit your designs! If we pick your design and win the contest, not only do we mention your name from the podium, but you will WIN WIN WIN BIG TIME CASH!*
Bear in mind - the design, while worthy of acclaim for many generations, should be simple to construct and execute underwater, using a knife that is handed to us prior to the event - that just adds a level of challenge to the whole she-bang.
The link for the actual contest is found right here!
Rules are:
-------------------------------------

2. Divers may participate in only one category

7. Any attempt to carve or partially carve pumpkin prior to entering water will result in disqualification. Felt marker may be used.

9. Pumpkins and divers must be fully submerged during carving.
10. Divers must collect all carved out pieces as they are carved for placement in garbage bins. Otherwise face disqualification.
11. Dive may last 60 minutes or one tank of air (whichever is least)
