I read the suggested HD judging criteria on the GPC website primarily color, size, shape and symmetry, do other factors such as minor rodent or hail damage count against you? I've got a nice one, but she has some pox marks from some hail and wondering how much that counts. A couple pics.

That shouldn't disqualify you from HD consideration, but it's going to depend on the looks of the other pumpkins that attend.

i swear that that fruit looks like a cave drawing of man's first encounter with space aliens, complete with a star map - it should win at least an award for that! eg

Thats gonna hurt a little.A beauty contest is subjective with pumpkins. Youve gotta leave it in the hand of judges and like a dog show they dont always like the same things. Take your pumpkin to the weighoff and enjoy the experience.
