Thanks everyone with the comments. good idea Brad, I never thought of entering it. I don't have a lot of free time to do anything other than the work that the shop has so if what I'm working on dosent fit a contest, I'm out. If anyone else wants to do a pumpkin, there easy. Use a waterbase paint. We have Createx but I guess that any brand will work the same. Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol first and use a heat gun or hair dryer to dry the surface. Paint away. It is VERY fragile and the paint will scrape off easily, so be careful. Best to go totally freehand so the masks dont scratch the surface and force dry after each color. When you are done, use a rattle can clear. We use Krylon brand crystal clear. You can get it at a hardware store. Dont use the automotive rattle can stuff, jam clear etc... as it will wrinkle the paint.
Have fun.
