Online Exhibition: Decorated Pumpkins 2020

The 2020 Exhibition is Open!

This year for the very first time we changed the format of our very popular Pumpkin decorating competition to an online event. We have been amazed and thoroughly entertained by the very high standard of all the entries and it was very difficult to pick the winners! There were over 320 entries!—all included here.

An astonishing array of very creative and innovative techniques have been used by all ages of contestants: from very detailed low-relief, semi-transparent carving to stick-on cut-outs and papercraft, and mixed-media assemblages.
Some of those media have blown us away too. From shiny glitter to actual screws and nails! Soft natural feathers, leaves and hair. Lego and sweets. Toys and sports equipment! Rubbish bags, cobwebs and 600 spikes! Not to mention, very clever use of light—lest we forget that!
The subjects are also broad and fascinating: Funny and terrifying monsters, ghosts and witches—of course; but also lovely fairies, angels and unicorns; dinosaurs, foxes, fish, pets—bats and cats! Well-known Superheroes, and the lesser-known ones in medicine fighting viruses. Covid-19 and politics are accompanied by personal anxiety; but there are also comforting notions of home! Didn’t we say we’ve been amazed and entertained? Bravo to everyone.

So we want to thank all of you who entered the competition (thank you!) and feel that everyone who entered deserves to have their pumpkin viewed by the public in this online exhibition. We do hope you enjoy viewing them as much as we did!
