Patriotic Pumpkin Party
Prompt
A Halloween pumpkin with a horrified face that serves as a poutine bowl. Melting cheese curds are coming out of its mouth, there are French fries coming out of the hole on top. Brown gravy sauce is pouring out of its eyes, nose and makes a puddle of sauce.
Theme
It’s october and Halloween is coming soon. I know Halloween is not celebrated everywhere in the world, and that’s the reason I wanted to make this challenge.
The goal of the challenge is to have a carved Halloween pumkin that represents your country, state, province or city. As I live in Quebec, I made sure my Halloween pumpkin had something to do with Poutine, one meal that Quebec is known for. Please in your answer, post what country / territory / city your pumpkin represents. The carvings could show a flag, your national animal, or whatever you think represents where you live.
Voting process
This challenge will follow a slightly different format. Everyone can submit their image to this post. At the end of the week all images will be collected and shared in a new voting post wherein people can vote on their favorite image. This will be up for at least 24 hours before a winner is made.
There are no extra points to be earned, OP will decide on a winner in case of a tie.
I hope this format will give everyone the opportunity to take their time and have an equal chance at earning votes. It can be a one-off if this turns out to be too time consuming or impractical.
Rules
- Follow the community’s rules above all else
- One comment and image per user

- Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged but not required (we’re all here for fun and learning)

- Voting and final scoring will be done in a separate post.
Scores
At the end of the challenge the image with the most votes, wins! It’s that simple this time :)
The winner gets to pick the next theme. As always, have fun everyone!
I’m curious what made this challenge way less popular than others. The theme? The fact it had to be about your country? The term patriotic? I’m genuinely curious to know. Seems like the challenges I come up with aren’t very popular and I’d like to understand why, in order to come up with better ones in te future.
for me it was exactly what cloudless said. The most info I felt comfortable giving was that I’m in the western hemisphere, and I have my own culture and cultures of internet places I frequent. The physical area culture is not what I would be proud of so I would not show the world it’s mine, because I do not consider it mine. I would answer: it is the personal nature of your challenge. ‘We’ don’t want personal. ‘We’ want challenges where we don’t have to consider social ramifications of what we choose to make.
‘make a trex’ would have resulted in people making trexs.
‘share your location’ requires a step of ‘hmmm do i want to share this about myself and how much?’ Why have steps like that that weed wouldbe contestants out at all?
Gotcha!
For me it’s that we don’t really celebrate Halloween in my country. So I don’t have a huge interest in it.
But there’s also a waning interest in AI art I feel now that it’s matured a bit.
I figured that Halloween is a very north American thing, but I decided to try it anyway. Thanks for the explanation!
Hmmm, to be honest I’m not sure. For this one it might have been the location, but I don’t think it has ever stopped people from posting whatever they feel comfortable with before though.
Maybe the challenge is too specific? Like it pushes people into making a pumpkin and therefore limits the possibilities? Personally I like the challenges most when it’s a theme that feels a bit open ended. Like in this case maybe if you phrased it like “Halloween but in a different part of the world” it might give people more room to think of a unique angle for them to create their image?
Thanks for the feedback!
“patriotic” is definitely repulsive but as you can see it can be bypassed.
Looks more like people are loosing interest:
Hmm interesting. Thanks for the info and the feedback!
