CARVE is a good-natured high speed pumpkin carving challenge brought to you by AIGA Maine.
Teams of carvers will have one hour to cut, hack and assemble the best pumpkin creations, as chosen by our judges and public votes. Finished pumpkins will be auctioned to the public to support AIGA Maine's educational programs.

The goal of CARVE is to gather the local creative community, celebrate fall, and support AIGA Maine's professional development and mentorship programs.
Come out and showcase your design skills, with a chance to be crowned CARVE champion. Registration is open to teams of 2 to 4 carvers; designers, art directors, developers, artists, copywriters, photographers, and all other creative professionals are welcome.
