What happens if we don't have a printer? Can I redraw the pumpkin to resemble the template?

If you don't have a printer there's always the digital option, or visit a library! Although if you're not able to do that, we will accept it if you can trace the template. The best way to do this is to have the template up and lay a paper over the screen. Lightly trace over it with a pencil, kind of like you would with a lightbox. Then just go over it with a marker or something. As long as it doesn't look like something completely different, and has the logo in the corner, you're fine.

If you're unsure of anything, feel free to PM me!

Can the pumpkin be animated and submitted as a gif? I had an idea for the outside of mine that I tried and really liked and there are no rules regarding it, so I thought id ask!

Before I started doing digital I traced it (and cut it out bc I wasn't tracing it again and placed it over my painting *shifty eyes*) so I see no problem with this. Granted I finished it like 20 minutes too late to enter ....
