Helix Lounge's Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest

Helix Lounge Pumpkin Carving Contest

Helix Lounge was in full spooky spirit just days before Halloween! The Adams Morgan hotspot hosted its annual pumpkin carving contest, bringing out all kinds of guys and ghouls eager to carve their artwork.  While some chose to carve scary designs, others brought a more playful spirit to pumpkin artistry (think Flava Flav and PBR!).

Click through the gallery to see all the entries and find out who won! The winner of the “Spookiest Design” received a $50 gift certificate to Helix Lounge, and the winner of “Best Overall Design” will enjot a free weekend stay at the Hotel Helix. The winning pumpkins will also be displayed at the lounge through Halloween night!

And now it's your turn to vote! Click here to check out the nominees in our Metromix poll and pick your favorite pumpkin design! Whoever gets the most of your votes will win a Metromix prize pack!  And don’t let the Lounge’s vote influence you.  Be original and pick what you think is the most creative design!
