Shorts Pumpkin Carving Competition

15 November 2023 Jo Grant View all News

Who doesn't love a team competition? 

So when we decided to hold our first ever pumpkin carving competition last month, offering the chance to win a hamper full of goodies, the Shorts team got creative.

We asked our team to send in their pictures of home-carved pumpkins - many of them getting their children involved in the designs. The entries were fantastic - who knew that we had many talented pumpkin artists working amongst us?

A few of our spooky pumpkin entries were:

Korresia MacGregor

Her scary spider design.

WINNER: Beki Pearson 

Her amazing grim reaper design with pumpkin decorations. 
                                                                                                    

After careful deliberation, our independent judge (Chris Chambers) decided upon our winner - Beki Pearson, with her Grim Reaper design. Congratulations Beki, we hope that you enjoy your prize.

Beki was presented with an Autumn Hamper packed full of autumn goodies - including:

  • An Autumn Leaves and Pumpkin Etched Glass Mug
  • Soy Wax Candle
  • Autumnal Themed Bookmark
  • Scandi Socks
  • Hand-painted Hello Autumn Wooden Coaster
  • Handmade Crochet Pumpkin
  • Twinings Teabag
  • Nescafe Coffee sachet
  • Hot Chocolate Sachet
  • Handmade Vanilla Solid Lotion Bar

A big thank you to the team for getting involved and sending in their Halloween entries - we hope that they'll all be getting into the spirit of it (see what we did there) again next year!
