Blizzard has launched their annual pumpkin carving contest, and though it's being judged by their WoW team, entries can use imagery from the Diablo or Starcraft universes as well. Their contest page links to winners from past years, and while most of them are WoW, there are a couple of nice Diablo-themed pieces as well. Here?s the official contest info:

• You can show another photo of the pumpkin unlit ifyou wish.
• Pumpkins must be related to World of Warcraft or another Blizzard Entertainment title.
• Try to take the best picture possible, as picture quality helps make a good impression on the judges.
• Make sure you tell us what the pumpkin is supposed to be in the caption, just in case it?s not clear.
