Yes, finally… I have some contest runners-up to post! Sorry for the delay but Fred and I were out of town until Nov 7th for Youmacon and we fell a bit behind! It was a tough decision as we had a lot of favorites, but we decided to limit ourselves to ten runners-up this year:
Uber Pimpkin by CG
Nyan Over The Moon by ZombieFembot
Gish Pumpkin by OmeletGood
Hey Listen! by Kyasuri
Item Triforce by LadyFiede
TF2 Scream Fortress Pumpkin by K-Stop
GLaDOS by Sussi
The Crashers by Saxon216
Haberdashpionage by UDNTNOME
Locust Meatshield by XV Mr 14 VX
These folks all win a shirt of their choice from Level Up Studios!
Again, there were many more favorites we would’ve liked to pick… but we really had to limit ourselves! However if you submitted an entry this year and included a mailing address you’ll be receiving a small bonus prize just for entering!
Congrats to everyone for another successful year of vegetable artistry! You guys are truly amazing!

target=”_blank”>Yes! Yes! We’ve finally got some winners for ya! Emily, Fred and I put our collective heads together and have named the following entries as our grand prize winners! These winners will receive the respect of their peers, along with that juicy Level Up Studios store credit!
Our most creative winner this year was Primevil with his amazing pumpkin rendition of Metroid Prime 3′s Aurora Unit 313! You may remember some of his previous work when he won prizes in our first year and second year contest with his impressive Metroid themed carvings! Who knows what Metroid themed thing we’ll see next year!
Our most detailed winner this year was ceemdee, who for a second year swept the category with her incredibly beautiful carvings! We featured these three in particular because each judge had a favorite… Emily voted for “Bastion,” Fred voted for “Ico” and Shawn voted for “Minesweeper.” However you have to admit that all her entries were extremely well done!
And finally our most humorous winner this year was “Pumpkin Gaiden” by newcomer Sir Zebulon Anselm Löwe lll! His Ryu Hayabusa pumpkin literally destroyed the competition, along with most of his front yard!
Congratulations again to all our grand prize winners, and stay tuned for our next post where we will announce our eight runner-up winners!

What do you mean Halloween is in three days? That… can’t be right. I mean, surely I would have posted information about our annual Halolzween Pumpkin Carving Contest far sooner than that! Wait I didn’t? Fffffffffffffffff (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Oh wait, no… this was totally intentional! For this is The Fourth Annual SPEED RUN Halolzween Pumpkin Carving Contest! Yes! This totally intentional contest will test your skills in last minute pumpkin video game pumpkin carving! Are you up to the challenge? Probably not but lets do it anyway!

![[CONTESTS] MEAT WEEK CHALLENGE NO.2](http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/meatweek-post-art2-2011.jpg "[CONTESTS] MEAT WEEK CHALLENGE NO.2")
Yep I know, Meat Week has been quite a bit longer than a week! Mainly this is due to me being distracted by several other side things going on… but hey, I planned three meaty challenges and by gosh we’re gonna do them!
So now for challenge #2, you the Halolz community, are tasked with making your best Super Meat Boy themed submission!
Really for this one anything goes creatively, but for those of you who just need something basic to caption, I’ve provided two premade advice templates that you can caption yourself! And if you need help adding captions you can use sites like roflbot (although be sure to switch watermarking off!) or you can just type up your caption and send it in, and if it’s good enough we’ll put it together for you! Otherwise anything goes, and the best three chosen by myself will receive a pack of Meat Boy prizes!
Also for this contest, your meat boy themed submissions should be sent to contests[at]halolz.com! You have until Friday to get your submissions in, and we’ll choose winners on Monday! Good luck!

Okay, first up in our Meat Week challenges… we’ve got eight copies of Super Meat Boy to give away! (Four for Xbox 360 and four for PC through Steam). If you haven’t picked up Super Meat Boy yet, now is the perfect time to win yourself a free copy!
So how do you win? Well this challenge is actually quite easy… we’ll be giving them away randomly to members who “like” the Halolz Fan Page and the Level Up Studios Fan Page on Facebook! (Four on Halolz and four on Level Up). However the catch is, you also have to share this post on Facebook by clicking the blue share button in the bottom right corner of this post!
The sharing part may seem tedious, but it will actually mean that your odds of winning are way higher since you won’t have to compete with all 9,400+ Halolz fans on Facebook! (Speaking of which, isn’t it crazy the site has almost 10,000 fans on Facebook?)
Anyway, that’s all you have to do! You have 48 hours starting now to enter! Good luck! And be sure to MEAT the requirements!
—-
Our winners have been chosen! Congratulations to Stephanie T, Robby G, Michael M, George E, Mike T, Jimmy B, Jonathan L and Becca K!

Are you a fan of Super Meat Boy? I imagine you are if you like games enough to read this site everyday! However on the off chance that you’ve been living under a rock, Super Meat Boy was one of 2010′s hottest indie games to invade the 360 and PC last summer!
And now, with their release of over 80 new FREE DLC levels on Xbox (soon on PC) we’re celebrating MEAT WEEK here on Halolz, so the few that missed out on this awesomely difficult platformer will have a chance to win some MEATY PRIZES!
Of course that doesn’t mean you have to wait to pick up a copy of the game on Xbox Live or Steam! In fact you should do so right now!
Either way, stay tuned this week for some meat-tacular stuff!
