It\u2019s coming down to the wire as the competition for the 2015 Watermelon Carving Championship continues. Today marks the beginning of the People\u2019s Choice voting period. In two short weeks, we will announce all of the carving contest winners.\"22\"<\/p>\n

Compared to last year\u2019s contest, this year\u2019s contestants are definitely bringing their A-game. I\u2019m glad to see that our fans have such talent and skill when it comes to watermelon carving. I guess you could say they really know how to use their \u2018melons\u2019 (I\u2019m a better watermelon carver than comedian, I know).<\/p>\n

The folks at the National Watermelon Promotion Board have chosen the winners in each category, and now it\u2019s up to YOU to vote for which carvings will win the $250 People\u2019s Choice award for the Beginner and Experienced entries. (If you\u2019d like, check out the official contest judging criteria here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

To cast your vote, stop by the 2015 Watermelon Carving Contest voting page<\/a><\/u> to check out the People\u2019s Choice award contenders, and cast your vote before August 31. We\u2019ll announce the People\u2019s Choice winners, the Judge\u2019s Choice winner AND the category winners on September 8. Good luck to all of the competitors, and may the best carving win!<\/p>\n
