Fall is in the Air—And So Is the Spirit of (Pumpkin) Competition
Fall is in the Air—And So Is the Spirit of (Pumpkin) Competition

It’s pumpkin season, Bulldogs—and we’re calling on your creativity.
This October, UGA Online is hosting a Pumpkin Challenge for all our online students, alumni, and Bulldogs-to-be. Whether you’re a master carver, painting pro, or just here for the fall vibes, now’s your chance to show off your skills, rep the red and black, and maybe earn a little bragging rights.
Even if the Dawgs don’t win on the field, your pumpkin could win in our hearts.
BUT, only one pumpkin can take the crown. Will it be yours?
How to Enter:
- Choose your design, whether it’s Bulldog inspired, a take on these UGA-themed pumpkin carving stencils from the UGA Alumni Association, or something completely unrelated (but you think we’ll like!)
- Carve or paint your masterpiece
- Submit a photo of your carved pumpkin by tagging @ugaonline and using #UGAOnlinePumpkin on Instagram or Facebook anytime in October.
We’ll feature our favorites on social—and one lucky winner will earn the title of Top Dawg Pumpkin Master 2025.
The deadline is October 31. So sharpen those carving tools, grab a pumpkin, and show us what you’ve got.
