The Backup Pumpkin Challenge is back again and it’s an excuse to unleash your creativity in aid of Backup!
The Backup Pumpkin Challenge is a competition to help raise awareness of the Charity in a fun and creative way.
We want you to get involved - as an individual, company or team.
All you need is a pumpkin, your design and any props or tech you want to incorporate to bring your design to life.
We kindly ask that you promote this competition on any of your social media channels... Even if you're not entering, it would be great if you could help to spread the word about this competition to promote Backup to those who might need our help.
Competition Categories
The Backup Pumpkin Challenge consists of 5x Categories
Due to competition being open to anyone and anywhere, we will not be giving away any big prizes, but we will contact winners to send some Backup swag. All winners will be promoted on our social media pages, marketing material and industry press. Plus you get the prize of industry bragging rights!
*Best Design by Future Creative criteria is any new professional to our industry, it is not age specific but aimed at those just starting out in the creative side of our industry.
Short listed designs will be contacted to confirm they are a new creative professional, and will be asked for either a student ID/acceptance letter, a pledge from a current industry professional that you’re in training, or short explanation of how you’re attempting to enter the industry.
The aim of this category to give our Future Creatives a chance to highlight their design skills, as we know this current climate is not giving you a the start in the industry you had hoped to have.
** Cutest Fur Baby Pumpkin Pic Who doesn't love a dog or for that matter any pet in a theme!
Last year, we had gorgeous Lola, the spaniel puppy, make an appearance in 10 out of 10 Production's pumpkin design entry, and this gave us the idea for this year’s new category.
Of course, we must state that no pets must be put in any danger or harmed when creating your themed pic.
